How to start to use REST api on version 1.3

Post by rsoft »

I want to use REST API on mantis version 1.3, but I don't know where to start.
I see documents on getpostman.com about mantis rest API, but I need an example at start.
If possible ask someone to send me an example of using REST API on version 1.3.

Thanks in advance for your time and support.

Version 1.3 does not support REST.
The API was introduced in version 2.3.0.

Thank you dear @atrol for response.
Right now, we cannot upgrade to 2.3.0,
Is there any way exists to convert SOAP to REST of anyway like that to use REST API over 1.3?
Or Is that possible to customize the API of 2.3 for using in 1.3?

In case you should upgrade: The first version of the API was introduced in 2.3.0, but you should uprade to latest 2.x version (2.24.4 at the moment)

That might work for some of the functions, but not all of them. I am not aware someone implemented this, so you would have to implement it yourself.

You could install version 2.22.2 in parallel to your existing 1.3 installation and configure it to use the same database.
2.22.2 is the last version that comes with the same database schema like 1.3.
Starting from version 2.23.0 Mantis is no longer compatible with 1.3.

This solution fits for my condition.
Thank you dear @Atrol for your kindly support.
