Gerrit - REST API

[Guy Levkowitz]

Hi,

We are trying to work with the Rest API of Gerrit (version 3.3.3):
Documentation/rest-api.html

In small cases i get reply and it works fine for example :

{SERVER}/config/server/version

we are using via postman

Attached is the output of this get request

But in most cases for example :

{SERVER}/changes/?q=status:merged 

we get attachment

the question why ?

That is just an information for the browser, for avoiding the online rendering of the content.

If you are using the REST-API from your code, you can ignore it for the API returning JSON.

The changes query may return a very big JSON content, that’s why it is better to tell the browser to download the data instead of rendering it.

Other API have a small JSON, so where you render it really doesn’t matter.

See more insights on the Content-Disposition at [1].

P.S. Avoid screenshots and prefer textual output as example, it makes it easier to follow.

HTH

Luca.

Both your requests are anonymous. Likely the second request doesn't return any changes since there are no changes which are visible to anonymous users.

To make authenticated requests you need to include the "/a" prefix as explained at:

thanks adding the "a/"   - now it works

Many thanks

Guy

It means that the change has been cherry-picked to other branches. So you get the original change and the changes for all the cherry-picks of that change.

To add to Edwin’s point, if you check [1], it notes a valid value for {change-id} is ' a Change-Id if it uniquely identifies one change ("I8473b95934b5732ac55d26311a706c9c2bde9940”)'

Other options (also detailed in [1]) are using a change # (not Id) as the {change-id} in your request or combining the Change Id with a project and branch.
