Simple and headless way to extract work item information


Gary Karasiuk (3183) | asked Jun 17 '09, 1:06 p.m.
I want to integrate work item information into another application, and I am hoping to find a simple way to do that. Ideally I want to build a simple URL and then get back the data in an easily parseable format. Any suggestions on how best to do this?

In the wiki I found the paper
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ResourceOrientedWorkItems

that mentioned forming URLs like this:
/service/com.ibm.team.workitem.service.internal.roa.IRestService/workitems/17089

and while that looked ideal, it returned data for some workitems but not others, and I could not discern what the difference was.

I also found papers on the RTCSDK, but that seemed too complicated for what I need.

The API you are referring to was provisional but should still work for
your purpose. What was the HTTP status code for the work items that
returned no data? A 500 would point to a problem on the server.

If you use a 2.0 version, please take a look at the official API
documented in
