@PLUGIN@ - REST API

This page describes the code owners REST endpoints that are added by the @PLUGIN@ plugin.

Please also take note of the general information on the REST API.

Project Endpoints

Get Code Owner Project Config

‘GET /projects/{project-name}/code_owners.project_config’

Gets the code owner project configuration.

As a response a CodeOwnerProjectConfigInfo entity is returned that describes the code owner project configuration.

Request

  GET /projects/foo%2Fbar/code_owners.project_config HTTP/1.0

Response

  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  Content-Disposition: attachment
  Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8

    }
  }

Branch Endpoints

[EXPERIMENTAL] Get Code Owner Config

‘GET /projects/{project-name}/branches/{branch-id}/code_owners.config/{path}’

Gets a code owner config for a path in a branch.

The code owner config is returned as CodeOwnerConfigInfo entity

This REST endpoint is experimental which means that the response format is likely still going to be changed. It is only available if experimental REST endpoints are enabled in gerrit.config.

Request

  GET /projects/foo%2Fbar/branches/master/code_owners.config/%2Fdocs%2Fconfig HTTP/1.0

Response

  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  Content-Disposition: attachment
  Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8

  )]}'
  {
    "code_sets": [
      "code_owners" [
        {
          "email": "jane.roe@example.com"
        },
        {
          "email": "john.doe@example.com"
        }
      ]
    ]
  }

If the path does not exist or if no code owner config exists for the path ‘204 No Content’ is returned.

List Code Owners for path in branch

‘GET /projects/{project-name}/branches/{branch-id}/code_owners/{path}’

Lists the accounts that are code owners of a file or folder in a branch.

The code owners are computed from the owner configuration at the tip of the specified branch.

Code owners that are

not visible to the calling user (according to accounts.visibility setting),
are referenced by non-visible secondary emails
not resolvable (emails for which no Gerrit account exists) or
ambiguous (the same email is assigned to multiple accounts)

are omitted from the result.

The following request parameters can be specified:

Field Name		Description
`o`	optional	Account option that controls which fields in the returned accounts should be populated. Can be specified multiple times. If not given, only the `_account_id` field for the account ID is populated.
`O`	optional	Account option in hex. For the explanation see `o` parameter.
`limit`\|`n`	optional	Limit defining how many code owners should be returned at most. By default 10.
`revision`	optional	Revision from which the code owner configs should be read as commit SHA1. Can be used to read historic code owners. If not specified the code owner configs are read from the HEAD revision of the branch. Not supported for getting code owners for a path in a change.

As a response a list of CodeOwnerInfo entities is returned. The returned code owners are sorted by an internal score that expresses how good the code owners are considered as reviewers/approvers for the path. Code owners with higher scores are returned first. If code owners have the same score the order is random.

Request

  GET /projects/foo%2Fbar/branches/master/code_owners/docs%2Findex.md HTTP/1.0

Response

  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  Content-Disposition: attachment
  Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8

    {
      "account": {
        "_account_id": 1001439
      },
    }
  ]

Change Endpoints

Get Code Owner Status

‘GET /changes/{change-id}/code_owners.status’

Gets the code owner statuses for the files in a change.

The code owner statuses are always listed for the files in the current revision of the change (latest patch set).

The code owner statuses are returned as a CodeOwnerStatusInfo entity.

Request

  GET /changes/275378/code_owners.status HTTP/1.0

Response

  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  Content-Disposition: attachment
  Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8

Revision Endpoints

List Code Owners for path in change

‘GET /changes/{change-id}/revisions/{revison-id}/code_owners/{path}’

Lists the accounts that are code owners of a file in a change revision.

The code owners are computed from the owner configuration at the tip of the change's destination branch.

This REST endpoint has the exact same request and response format as the REST endpoint to list code owners for a path in a branch.

IDs

{path}

An arbitrary absolute path.

The leading'/' can be omitted.

The path may or may not exist in the branch.

JSON Entities

BackendInfo

The BackendInfo entity describes the code owner backend configuration.

Field Name		Description
`id`		ID of the code owner backend that is configured for the project.
`ids_by_branch`	optional	IDs of the code owner backends that are configured for individual branches as map of full branch names to code owner backend IDs. Only contains entries for branches for which a code owner backend is configured that differs from the backend that is configured for the project (see `id` field). Configurations for non-existing and non-visible branches are omitted. Not set if no branch specific backend configuration is returned.

CodeOwnerConfigInfo

The CodeOwnerConfigInfo entity contains information about a code owner config for a path.

Field Name		Description
`ignore_parent_code_owners`	optional, not set if `false`	Whether code owners from parent code owner configs (code owner configs in parent folders) should be ignored.
`code_owner_sets`	optional	A list of code owner sets as CodeOwnerSetInfo entities.

CodeOwnerInfo

The CodeOwnerInfo entity contains information about a code owner.

Field Name		Description
`account`	optional	The account of the code owner as an AccountInfo entity. At the moment the `account` field is always set, but it's marked as optional as in the future we may also return groups as code owner and then the `account` field would be unset.
