Google Script urlFetchApp Post failing calling Jira Tempo worklogs - google-apps-script

Question

I trying to write a google script to query Jira Tempo worklogs.
This is what I have so far:
function postDataForAPI() {
var payloadData = {
"taskKey" : []
};
payloadData.taskKey.push("AA-123");
var payload = Utilities.jsonStringify(payloadData);
var url = "https://api.tempo.io/core/4/worklogs/search";
var digestfull = PropertiesService.getUserProperties().getProperty("digest"); //get username and password (base64 encrypted)
var options = { "Accept":"application/json",
"Content-Type":"application/json",
"method": "POST",
"headers": {"Authorization": digestfull},
"muteHttpExceptions": true,
"payload" : payload
};
var resp = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url,options);
if (resp.getResponseCode() != 200) {
Browser.msgBox("Error retrieving data for url " + url + ":" + resp.getContentText());
return "";
}
else {
return resp.getContentText();
}
}
When I execute the above it fails.
If I use curl then I can successfully make the request (I think this is essentially the same POST):
curl -u "username:password" -X POST https://api.tempo.io/rest/tempo-timesheets/4/worklogs/search -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"taskKey":["AA-123"]}'
Making GET requests against the same API works fine:
function getDataForAPI() {
var url = "https://api.tempo.io/core/4/worklogs/101112";
var digestfull = PropertiesService.getUserProperties().getProperty("digest"); //get username and password (base64 encrypted)
var options = { "Accept":"application/json",
"Content-Type":"application/json",
"method": "GET",
"headers": {"Authorization": digestfull},
"muteHttpExceptions": true
};
var resp = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url,options);
if (resp.getResponseCode() != 200) {
Browser.msgBox("Error retrieving data for url " + url + ":" + resp.getContentText());
return "";
}
else {
return resp.getContentText();
}
}
So I'm confident it is not Authorisation (GET request succeeds). The curl request succeeds and appears to be in the same form as the google script and yet the google script POST fails.
What do I have wrong?

Answer 1

I believe your goal is as follows.
You want to convert the following curl command to Google Apps Script.
curl -u "username:password" -X POST https://api.tempo.io/rest/tempo-timesheets/4/worklogs/search -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"taskKey":["AA-123"]}'
Modification points:
It seems that "Accept":"application/json" is not used in the sample curl command.
"Content-Type":"application/json" is required to be included in the request header. But, at UrlFetchApp, the property of contentType can be used.
Utilities.jsonStringify has been deprecated. Ref
When these points are reflected in your script, it becomes as follows.
Modified script:
function postDataForAPI() {
var payloadData = { "taskKey": [] };
payloadData.taskKey.push("AA-123");
var url = "https://api.tempo.io/core/4/worklogs/search";
var digestfull = PropertiesService.getUserProperties().getProperty("digest");
var options = {
"method": "POST",
"contentType": "application/json",
"headers": { "Authorization": digestfull },
"muteHttpExceptions": true,
"payload": JSON.stringify(payloadData)
};
var resp = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
if (resp.getResponseCode() != 200) {
Browser.msgBox("Error retrieving data for url " + url + ":" + resp.getContentText());
return "";
}
else {
return resp.getContentText();
}
}
Note:
When I saw your provided curl command, it seems that the URL is different. The sample curl command uses https://api.tempo.io/rest/tempo-timesheets/4/worklogs/search. But your script uses https://api.tempo.io/core/4/worklogs/search. I'm worried about this difference. So if the above-modified script didn't work, please check the URL again.
The request of this modified script is the same as the sample curl command. But if an error occurs, please check each value like digestfull and payloadData, again.
