Early access:
Our REST APIs are set to change in the coming months, and we probably won't be maintaining the legacy endpoints for very long.

Moreover, we are currently using the OAuth 2.0 Password Grant as a temporary authentication strategy while we develop Personal Access Tokens which will improve the security.

So be ready to update your integrations!

At Requirement Yogi, we’re committed to continuously enhancing our products to meet the evolving needs of our customers. However, we understand that there are instances where you may require additional functionalities beyond what our products currently offer. For example, you may need to generate intricate reports by consolidating data coming from multiple systems, automate tasks based on the properties of your requirements, etc. If that's the case, our REST APIs empower you to extend the capabilities of our products to better fulfill your needs.

Explore our REST APIs

Each product has its own REST API:

Create an account

In order to access the REST APIs, you need to create a Requirement Yogi account:

  • Go to https://app.requirementyogi.com.

  • In the top navigation bar, click the sign in button.

  • Click the Register button.

  • Fill the registration form.

  • Submit the form.

Link an Atlassian account

In order to access the REST APIs, you need to link an Atlassian account to your Requirement Yogi account:

  • In the top navigation bar, click the profile button.

  • Navigate to Settings.

  • You will be asked to log in to your Atlassian account if you haven’t already.

  • Choose the Atlassian site for which you want to use our REST APIs.

  • Make sure you agree with the requested permissions.

  • Make sure you’ve read our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.

  • Click the Accept button.

  • You can repeat the link process to authorize access to our REST APIs for multiple Atlassian sites.

  • Please note that permissions are checked against the permissions of your linked Atlassian account.

  • Make sure the linked Atlassian account has the appropriate permissions for your use case.

Reset the accessible Atlassian sites

We retrieve accessible Atlassian sites from the Atlassian REST API.

  • In the top navigation bar, click the profile button.

  • Navigate to Account settings.

  • In the top navigation bar, navigate to Connected apps.

  • Locate the Requirement Yogi integration app.

Get an access token

In order to access the REST APIs, you need an access token.

For now, we use the OAuth 2.0 Password Grant as a temporary authentication strategy while we develop Personal Access Tokens which will improve the security.

To obtain an access token:

curl -L 'https://auth.requirementyogi.com/realms/ry-cloud/protocol/openid-connect/token' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
-d 'client_id=backend-client' \
-d 'grant_type=password' \
-d 'username=YOUR_EMAIL' \
-d 'password=YOUR_PASSWORD'

  • If the request is successful, you will receive a response that looks like this:

{
    "access_token": "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN",
    "expires_in": 300,
    "refresh_expires_in": 1800,
    "refresh_token": "YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN",
    "token_type": "Bearer",
    "not-before-policy": 0,
    "session_state": "f4c9edf6-855c-4493-9da8-d0939269d0f5",
    "scope": "email profile"
}

  • The response should contain:

    • access_token: the access token.

    • expires_in: the expiration delay of the access token (in seconds).

    • refresh_token: the refresh token.

    • refresh_expires_in: the expiration delay of the refresh token (in seconds).

Refresh the access token

When the access token expires, you can use the refresh token to obtain a new access token:

curl -L 'https://auth.requirementyogi.com/realms/ry-cloud/protocol/openid-connect/token' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
-d 'client_id=backend-client' \
-d 'grant_type=refresh_token' \
-d 'refresh_token=YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN'

  • If the request is successful, you will receive a response that looks like this:

{
    "access_token": "YOUR_NEW_ACCESS_TOKEN",
    "expires_in": 300,
    "refresh_expires_in": 1800,
    "refresh_token": "YOUR_NEW_REFRESH_TOKEN",
    "token_type": "Bearer",
    "not-before-policy": 0,
    "session_state": "3b2a9f95-1521-4cf8-a3ac-36e1aa01c36c",
    "scope": "email profile"
}

  • The response should contain:

    • access_token: the new access token.

    • expires_in: the expiration delay of the new access token (in seconds).

    • refresh_token: the new refresh token.

    • refresh_expires_in: the expiration delay of the new refresh token (in seconds).

  • If the refresh token has expired, you need to request a new access token using your credentials again.

Use the REST APIs

  • Choose the endpoint you want to use.

  • Add a X-Base-URL header to your requests containing the base URL of your Atlassian site (e.g. https://example.atlassian.net/wiki for a Confluence instance, https://example.atlassian.net for a Jira instance).

  • Add an Authorization header to your requests containing the access token prefixed with Bearer (e.g. Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN).

  • Send the request:

curl -L 'https://confluence.requirementyogi.com/rest/search?query=&limit=200&offset=0&spaceKey=SPACE' \
-H 'X-Base-URL: https://example.atlassian.net/wiki' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'
