Hi everyone,

This is my first post on your forum.
I have been testing OpenProject API v3. I can create a new workpackage, all good.

However, I wish to create a new project using API, I can’t see it in the documentation so far.

Is it possible? If not, an alternative would be to use command line via ssh ?

Thanks.
Adrien.

Hi Adrien,

it is not yet possible to create projects through the API.

You should easily be able to create one through the commandline, though. Use the following command as a starter point (packaged installation)

Best,
Oliver

Thanks Oliver, I’ll try that.

There is also a feature request for this in the wish list:

if any progress was made regarding the creation of project through api ? or is there any other way to “trigger” project creation except by web browser ?

Is it also possible to assign a user to a project via command line?

I found out, it's working with:

openproject run bundle exec rails runner "Member.create(project_id: 111, role_ids: [9], user_id: 46);"

Hi Everyone,

I would really appreciate, if you could also let me know whether I can generate api access token for users except by web browser? Is there any way to do that via api call or bash script? Basically I would like to create an user by api call using admin user and then generate the access token for newly created user.

Using this does creates a project with limited modules. Is there a way to add modules via API?

Im sorry for the question, im new to OPenProject APIs.
