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.

Permissions required: Permission to access the Service Desk. For example, being the Service Desk's Administrator or one of its Agents or Users.

Connect app scope required: READ

OAuth scopes required: 
read:servicedesk-request

Path parameters
serviceDeskId Required

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.

Connect app scope required: WRITE

OAuth scopes required: 
write:servicedesk-request

Request

Path parameters
serviceDeskId Required
