Root Endpoint

The ZenHub API root endpoint for Cloud is different than that of ZenHub On-Premise Enterprise instances and has also changed across Enterprise versions. Please refer to the table below for the appropriate endpoint.

Authentication

All requests to the API need an API token. Generate a token in the API Tokens section of your ZenHub Dashboard (for ZenHub Enterprise, refer to the table below for the proper link).

The token is sent in the X-Authentication-Token header. For example, using curl it would be:

curl -H 'X-Authentication-Token: TOKEN' URL

Alternatively, you can choose to send the token in the URL using the access_token query string attribute. To do so, add ?access_token=TOKEN to any URL.

Notes

• Each user may only have one token, so generating a new token will invalidate previously created tokens.

Content-Type: JSON

Our REST API only supports JSON content for requests with a body and for responses. For each request containing a body with JSON, you will need to attach the header 'Content-Type: application/json' with your request. For example, using curl it’d be:

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' URL

API Rate Limit

We allow a maximum of 100 requests per minute to our API. All requests responses include the following headers related to this limitation.

To avoid time differences between your computer and our servers, we suggest to use the Date header in the response to know exactly when the limit is reset.

Errors

The ZenHub API can return the following errors:

Endpoint Reference

Notes

• repo_id is the ID of the repository, not its full name. For example, the ID of the ZenHubIO/API repository is 47655910. To find out the ID of your repository, use GitHub’s API, or copy it from the URL of the Board (for this repo, the Board URL is https://github.com/ZenHubIO/API#boards?repos=47655910).
• workspace_id is the ID of the ZenHub Workspace. This is found in the URL for the Workspace after the name of the workspace. For example, the workspace_id for https://app.zenhub.com/workspaces/workflows---product--design-workspace-5f6b5c9ab4fd7d76a3e5b7d8/board? is 5f6b5c9ab4fd7d76a3e5b7d8.

    }
  ],
  "is_epic": true
}

Notes

• plus_ones[].user_id was removed from the response.
• pipeline object references the oldest Workspace pipeline this issue is in.
  • NOTE: If an issue's status is closed, the pipeline value will describe the Pipeline that the issue was in prior to the issue being closed. The ZenHub API does not consider the "Closed" Pipeline to be a distinct Pipeline at this time and you should not use the Pipeline value to determine whether or not an issue is closed or open (use status instead).
  • NOTE: Reopened issues might take up to one minute to show up in the correct Pipeline.
• pipelines contains all pipelines in all Workspaces this issue is in.

Notes

• The endpoint returns the Board’s pipelines, plus the issues contained within each Pipeline. It returns the issue number of each issue, their position in the Board, the is_epic flag (true or false), and its Estimate (if set).
• Even if the issues are returned in the right order, the position can’t be guessed from its index. Note that some issues won’t have position – this is because they have not been prioritized on your Board.
• The Board returned by the endpoint doesn’t include closed issues. To get closed issues for a repository, you can use the GitHub API. Reopened issues might take up to one minute to appear in the correct Pipeline.

Webhooks

You can use our webhooks to fetch or store your ZenHub data, in real time, across services like Slack, Gitter, Spark, HipChat, or something custom!

To set up an integration, head on over to our Dashboard, navigate to your organization, and select the Slack & Integrations tab. From there, you may choose one of the 5 services (Slack, HipChat, Gitter, Spark, or Custom).

For instructions, you'll notice the How to create a webhook link changes dynamically based on the service you select. Simply choose a repository with which to connect, add an optional description, paste your webhook, and click "Add" to save your new integration.

Custom webhooks

Our custom webhook sends a POST request to your webhook for multiple events that occur on your ZenHub board. See below for examples of the events and data that they will contain. Please note that the content type in the examples has been written in JSON, however the actual data is sent in x-www-form-urlencoded format.

Content Type: urlencoded

The POST request is sent in the x-www-form-urlencoded format.

Example: field1=value1&field2=value2

var express = require('express');
var http = require('http');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var app = express();

http.createServer(app).listen('6000', function() {
  console.log('Listening on 6000');
});

app.use(bodyParser());

app.post('*', function(req, res) {
  console.dir(req.body);
});
