Semaphore API is not returning information of created objects in many cases

[ahoiroman]

Hello there,

in order to automate different steps I want to use the ansible-semaphore-API.

However, in some cases, the API does not return any data on success, but only HTTP 204.

Example: Keys

If I create an access key using the API, I cannot reference it in other steps of my process, e.g. to assign this key to an inventory.

Is there any reason for this behavior?

Hello, I'm facing the same issue as @ahoiroman.

Here my case with examples :

I'm creating infrastucture with Pulumi and I need to create a project in Semaphore to run Ansible. I think Semaphore is useful with the API to manage my playbooks.

I can automate project creation and get back the id because the status code is 201. Next step is to add a private key to my gitlab inside the project, adding a key is OK but the status code is 204 so, I don't have the id of my ssh key in return.

I need to run a "GET" with some filters to retrieve the id but it would be nice if the status code of the endpoint /project/{project_id}/keys could return a 201 status code. In order to simplify the automation.

Same things with : /project/{project_id}/repositories /project/{project_id}/environment

So, is it possible to improve the API to change the status code of those two endpoints ?

Thanks.
