Get service desk by id

GET /rest/servicedeskapi/servicedesk/{serviceDeskId}

This method returns a service desk. Use this method to get service desk details whenever your application component is passed a service desk ID but needs to display other service desk details.

App scope required: READ

OAuth scopes required: 
read:servicedesk-request

Request

Path parameters
serviceDeskId Required

integer

The ID of the service desk to return. This can alternatively be a project identifier.

Format: int64

Attach temporary file

POST /rest/servicedeskapi/servicedesk/{serviceDeskId}/attachTemporaryFile

This method adds one or more temporary attachments to a service desk, which can then be permanently attached to a customer request using servicedeskapi/request/{issueIdOrKey}/attachment.

Note: It is possible for a service desk administrator to turn off the ability to add attachments to a service desk.

This method expects a multipart request. The media-type multipart/form-data is defined in RFC 1867. Most client libraries have classes that make dealing with multipart posts simple. For instance, in Java the Apache HTTP Components library provides MultiPartEntity.

Because this method accepts multipart/form-data, it has XSRF protection on it. This means you must submit a header of X-Atlassian-Token: no-check with the request or it will be blocked.

The name of the multipart/form-data parameter that contains the attachments must be file.

For example, to upload a file called myfile.txt in the Service Desk with ID 10001 use

1
curl -D- -u customer:customer -X POST -H "X-ExperimentalApi: opt-in" -H "X-Atlassian-Token: no-check" -F "file=@myfile.txt" https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/servicedeskapi/servicedesk/10001/attachTemporaryFile

Permissions required: Permission to add attachments in this Service Desk.

App scope required: WRITE

OAuth scopes required: 
write:servicedesk-request

Request

Path parameters
serviceDeskId Required

Create request type

Experimental

POST /rest/servicedeskapi/servicedesk/{serviceDeskId}/requesttype

This method enables a customer request type to be added to a service desk based on an issue type. Note that not all customer request type fields can be specified in the request and these fields are given the following default values:

  • Request type icon is given the headset icon.
  • Request type groups is left empty, which means this customer request type will not be visible on the customer portal.
  • Request type status mapping is left empty, so the request type has no custom status mapping but inherits the status map from the issue type upon which it is based.

  • Request type field mapping is set to show the required fields as specified by the issue type used to create the customer request type.

These fields can be updated by a service desk administrator using the Request types option in Project settings.
Request Types are created in next-gen projects by creating Issue Types. Please use the Jira Cloud Platform Create issue type endpoint instead.

Permissions required: Service desk's administrator
