Zephyr for Jira Server exposes its data via a REST API which allows you to access the data programmatically and build your own integrations. The API is entirely HTTP-based. You can use the API to:

• Integrate with test automation tools.

• Integrate with continuous integration tools.

• Create extensive custom reports for testing.

• Integrate with business intelligence tools.

• Use the testing data for other purposes.

For example, you can build an integration that would create a test in a separate tool or system and add it to Zephyr for Jira Server or create a test execution cycle and update the status of a test execution run after it has been executed in an automation tool.

Using the API, you can:

• Get information about users, projects, releases, tests and execution cycles.

• Create new tests and test execution cycles.

• Update tests and test execution status.

• Add attachments to existing execution cycles.

• Run ZQL queries and retrieve search results.

http://SERVER[:PORT]/jira/rest/zapi/latest

For example, POST /jira/rest/zapi/latest/cycle means a POST request to http://localhost:2990/jira/rest/zapi/latest/cycle, which creates a new cycle.

POST and PUT request containing a JSON request body must include the Content-Type header:

Content-Type: application/json
