Overview

The TeamDynamix Web API provides a series of RESTful web services to facilitate integration with various areas of the TeamDynamix solution.

It is important to note that these web services have been designed to send and receive data in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. Other formats, such as XML or plain text, are not supported. When calling the web API, this requires a content type of application/json.

Authentication

Authentication for these API methods below is based on the inclusion of a "Bearer" token in the standard "Authorization" header of any HTTP requests. This token is in JSON Web Token (JWT) format, and such tokens can be retrieved though standard authentication methods.

For example, authentication may be performed like so:

POST /api/auth HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8

{username: "user", password: "password"}

When successful, that will result in a response like the following, which will return the full contents of the JWT:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJURCIsImF1ZCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnRlYW1keW5hbWl4LmNvbS8iLCJuYmYiOjE0MDA3MDUwNzQsImV4cCI6MTQwMDc5MTQ3NCwidW5pcXVlX25hbWUiOiJUZXN0VGVhbUR5bmFtaXhVc2VyIn0.tiRPGaawhPSy__B_xoyiQ7-mD2GUaBVk10BOsO1eoE8

After this token has been retrieved, it can be included in any subsequent HTTP requests like so:

GET /api/tickets/123456 HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1...

You can re-use this token for more than one request. The token will expire 24 hours after it has been issued. To determine the lifetime of a returned token, we recommend that you decode the JWT and verify the expiration date stored within it (stored as the exp claim).

Where noted, some actions require the use of a special key-based administrative account. For these actions, tokens obtained through the standard login methods will not work.

If you submit an HTTP request with the aforementioned header and still receive a 401 Unauthorized response, there are two typical causes:

  1. The user you are authenticated as lacks sufficient permissions to perform the requested action.
  2. Your authentication token has expired.

In the latter case, simply re-authenticate to obtain a new token.
