Create a project with API

Added by Adrien BALTARDIVE over 6 years ago

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)

openproject run bundle exec rails runner “Project.create(identifier: ‘my-new-myproject’, name: ‘My new project’);”

Best,
Oliver

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

RE: RE: Create a project with API - Added by sifudam . almost 5 years ago

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 ?

RE: Create a project with API - Added by Various Interactive over 4 years ago

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

RE: Create a project with API - Added by Various Interactive over 4 years ago

I found out, it's working with:

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

RE: Create a project with API - Added by Ehsan Aleem Avee over 4 years ago

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.

RE: Create a project with API - Added by Ralph Anthony Planteras over 3 years ago

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.
