From time to time we’ve had people wonder if the XML-RPC API is turned on for their Bugzilla installation. The answer is yes in all cases. Nevertheless it is difficult to verify as Bugzilla will not give you a meaningful response if you go to https:\/\/<mybugzilla>\/xmlrpc.cgi in your browser.<\/p>\n

Other clients want to verify some off error message they are getting from a tool that integrates with Bugzilla through the XML-RPC API.<\/p>\n

To solve these questions we have deployed our online XML-RPC client<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"xml-rpc<\/a><\/p>\n

By default it has the URL and credentials for our Bugzilla demo, but you can point it to any Bugzilla with XML-RPC enabled (even\u00a0https:\/\/bugzilla.mozilla.org\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The tricky bit is the parameter XML<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Bugzilla XML-RPC expects a single <struct> element.\u00a0The names of the parameters listed in the API docs for each function are the <name> element for the struct <member>s. See\u00a0Bugzilla::WebService::Server::XMLRPC<\/a> and\u00a0Bugzilla::WebService<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n

For example<\/p>\n

<param>\r\n <struct>\r\n <member>\r\n <name>Bugzilla_login<\/name>\r\n <value>demo@devzing.com<\/value>\r\n <\/member>\r\n <member>\r\n <name>Bugzilla_password<\/name>\r\n <value>password<\/value>\r\n <\/member> \r\n <\/struct>\r\n<\/param><\/pre>\n
This is the minimum set of parameters for Bugzilla 4.4.x as almost all methods require authentication.<\/p>\n
To retrieve a bug you need to set the method<\/strong> to Bug.get and parameter XML <\/strong>to\u00a0<\/strong>something like the following:<\/p>\n
<param>\r\n <struct>\r\n <member>\r\n <name>Bugzilla_login<\/name>\r\n <value>demo@devzing.com<\/value>\r\n <\/member>\r\n <member>\r\n <name>Bugzilla_password<\/name>\r\n <value>password<\/value>\r\n <\/member>\r\n <member>\r\n <name>ids<\/name>\r\n <value>\r\n   <array>\r\n     <data>\r\n       <value><i4>12<\/i4><\/value>\r\n     <\/data>\r\n   <\/array>\r\n<\/value>\r\n <\/member>\r\n<\/struct> \r\n<\/param><\/pre>\n
