=head1 NAME
Bugzilla::WebService::Server::JSONRPC - The JSON-RPC Interface to Bugzilla
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This documentation describes things about the Bugzilla WebService that
are specific to JSON-RPC. For a general overview of the Bugzilla WebServices,
see L<Bugzilla::WebService>.
Please note that I<everything> about this JSON-RPC interface is
B<EXPERIMENTAL>. If you want a fully stable API, please use the
C<Bugzilla::WebService::Server::XMLRPC|XML-RPC> interface.
=head1 JSON-RPC
Bugzilla supports both JSON-RPC 1.0 and 1.1. We recommend that you use
JSON-RPC 1.0 instead of 1.1, though, because 1.1 is deprecated.
At some point in the future, Bugzilla may also support JSON-RPC 2.0.
The JSON-RPC standards are described at L<http://json-rpc.org/>.
=head1 CONNECTING
The endpoint for the JSON-RPC interface is the C<jsonrpc.cgi> script in
your Bugzilla installation. For example, if your Bugzilla is at
C<bugzilla.yourdomain.com>, then your JSON-RPC client would access the
API via: C<http://bugzilla.yourdomain.com/jsonrpc.cgi>
=head2 Connecting via GET
The most powerful way to access the JSON-RPC interface is by HTTP POST.
However, for convenience, you can also access certain methods by using GET
(a normal webpage load). Methods that modify the database or cause some
action to happen in Bugzilla cannot be called over GET. Only methods that
simply return data can be used over GET.
For security reasons, when you connect over GET, cookie authentication
is not accepted. If you want to authenticate using GET, you have to
use the C<Bugzilla_login> and C<Bugzilla_password> method described at
L<Bugzilla::WebService/LOGGING IN>.
To connect over GET, simply send the values that you'd normally send for
each JSON-RPC argument as URL parameters, with the C<params> item being
a JSON string.
The simplest example is a call to C<Bugzilla.time>:
jsonrpc.cgi?method=Bugzilla.time
Here's a call to C<User.get>, with several parameters:
jsonrpc.cgi?method=User.get¶ms=[ { "ids": [1,2], "names": ["user@domain.com"] } ]
Although in reality you would url-encode the C<params> argument, so it would
look more like this:
jsonrpc.cgi?method=User.get¶ms=%5B+%7B+%22ids%22%3A+%5B1%2C2%5D%2C+%22names%22%3A+%5B%22user%40domain.com%22%5D+%7D+%5D
You can also specify C<version> as a URL parameter, if you want to specify
what version of the JSON-RPC protocol you're using, and C<id> as a URL
parameter if you want there to be a specific C<id> value in the returned
JSON-RPC response.
=head2 JSONP
When calling the JSON-RPC WebService over GET, you can use the "JSONP"
method of doing cross-domain requests, if you want to access the WebService
directly on a web page from another site. JSONP is described at
L<http://bob.pythonmac.org/archives/2005/12/05/remote-json-jsonp/>.
To use JSONP with Bugzilla's JSON-RPC WebService, simply specify a
C<callback> parameter to jsonrpc.cgi when using it via GET as described above.
For example, here's some HTML you could use to get the data from
C<Bugzilla.time> on a remote website, using JSONP:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://bugzilla.example.com/jsonrpc.cgi?method=Bugzilla.time&callback=foo">
That would call the C<Bugzilla.time> method and pass its value to a function
called C<foo> as the only argument. All the other URL parameters (such as
C<params>, for passing in arguments to methods) that can be passed to
C<jsonrpc.cgi> during GET requests are also available, of course. The above
is just the simplest possible example.
The values returned when using JSONP are identical to the values returned
when not using JSONP, so you will also get error messages if there is an
error.
The C<callback> URL parameter may only contain letters, numbers, periods, and
the underscore (C<_>) character. Including any other characters will cause
Bugzilla to throw an error. (This error will be a normal JSON-RPC response,
not JSONP.)
=head1 PARAMETERS
For JSON-RPC 1.0, the very first parameter should be an object containing
the named parameters. For example, if you were passing two named parameters,
one called C<foo> and the other called C<bar>, the C<params> element of
your JSON-RPC call would look like:
"params": [{ "foo": 1, "bar": "something" }]
For JSON-RPC 1.1, you can pass parameters either in the above fashion
or using the standard named-parameters mechanism of JSON-RPC 1.1.
C<dateTime> fields are strings in the standard ISO-8601 format:
C<YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ>, where C<T> and C<Z> are a literal T and Z,
respectively. The "Z" means that all times are in UTC timezone--times are
always returned in UTC, and should be passed in as UTC. (Note: The JSON-RPC
interface currently also accepts non-UTC times for any values passed in, if
they include a time-zone specifier that follows the ISO-8601 standard, instead
of "Z" at the end. This behavior is expected to continue into the future, but
to be fully safe for forward-compatibility with all future versions of
Bugzilla, it is safest to pass in all times as UTC with the "Z" timezone
specifier.)
All other types are standard JSON types.
=head1 ERRORS
JSON-RPC 1.0 and JSON-RPC 1.1 both return an C<error> element when they
throw an error. In Bugzilla, the error contents look like:
{ message: 'Some message here', code: 123 }
So, for example, in JSON-RPC 1.0, an error response would look like:
{
result: null,
error: { message: 'Some message here', code: 123 },
id: 1
}
Every error has a "code", as described in L<Bugzilla::WebService/ERRORS>.
Errors with a numeric C<code> higher than 100000 are errors thrown by
the JSON-RPC library that Bugzilla uses, not by Bugzilla.
