REST API v7: cannot retrieve parents of a Requirement

Dear Gianfranco,

Usually, 'Endpoint not found' error message means that some part of the path or endpoint is incorrect. 

The working API endpoint looks like this: 

GET https://YOUR_INSTANCE.URL/services/v7_0/RestService.svc/projects/1/requirements/17/parents?username=administrator&api-key={1B7850B9-ZYZY-XYXY-ZXZX-5E300EA90AC2}

Please make sure that:
- You keep API-KEY in curly braces (not square brackets)
- ProjectID and RequirementID have no brackets at all
- Username has no brackets

More about using API endpoints can be found here: https://spiradoc.inflectra.com/Developers/API-Overview/#overview

If you will still have issues with that, please contact support directly in a dedicated ticket.

Hi Victoria,

first of all, thanks for your reply.

I deeply investigated and after reading documentation for 3h, I tested the APIs on local system https://My_server_url/Services/v7_0/RestService.aspx  (will produce the list of available API calls)

and I discovered that the SpiraTeam: REST Web Service is not available on our SpiraTeam v7.12.0.0.

Starting from which version the "projects/{project_id}/requirements/{requirement_id}/parents" is available?

Thank you very much.

Gianfranco

Dear Gianfranco,

I believe, REST API v7 available from Spira v7.5: https://spiradoc.inflectra.com/About/release-notes-v7/#version-75-march-2023/#:~:text=RQ:4417
The endpoint exists in API v7, there was no similar endpoint for version 6 API.

I would upgrade Spira up to the latest, but if you'd like to know the exact version of Spira - let me check and get back to you.

Hi Victoria,

yes please.

In the mean time will try to create a different implementation for parsing the tree.

Many thanks for your precious support!

Dear Gianfranco,

So, the endpoint was introduced first in Spira version 8.9 - so you need to upgrade to use this functionality.
More details about that can be found here: https://spiradoc.inflectra.com/About/release-notes-v8/#:~:text=IN:10747

The documentation about the endpoint will be available in Spira -> Admin menu -> Integration -> WebServices after upgrading to v8.9
