Rest API to create multiple resources
I opened a ticket for this, but perhaps someone already tried this before and can cut down the waiting line...
I'm in phase where I'm exploring and documenting Rest API usage... I kind of like it even though for normal human usage nsradmin is still your best friend. Still, I can see where Rest API would be better fit, especially when integrating with other platforms without any specific parts of NW package to be available.
One thing where I found myself stuck is handling multiple resources (if you wish to create it via POST). Consider following body:
{
"protectionGroups": [
{
"comment": "Backup group via RestAPI one",
"name": "RestAPIb",
"workItemType": "Client",
"workItems": []
},
{
"comment": "Backup group via RestAPI two",
"name": "RestAPIc",
"workItemType": "Client",
"workItems": []
}
]
}
That doesn't work for me, but error I get seems to suggest some kind of syntax error (or this simply not being supported in the first place). I can easily create one resource or have two calls for each resource too, but would prefer if I could use single call for multiple resources when building requests for the same type of resources.
