Issue/Introduction

Can the Rally Webservice API be used to pull back watchers for work items.    I didn't see anything in the API documentation for Watcher

Environment

Release : SAAS

Resolution

We use the Pigeon API to pull Watch information.  Our Web Services API doesn't have any information about Watchers.  

• To pull all watches for a Workspace use the following query:
  • https://rally1.rallydev.com/apps/pigeon/api/v2/watch
• To pull watch information in a workspace for a specific Artifact use:
  • https://rally1.rallydev.com/apps/pigeon/api/v2/watch?ArtifactUUID=<ARTIFACT_UUID>
• And all watches in a workspace for a specific user use:
  • https://rally1.rallydev.com/apps/pigeon/api/v2/watch?UserUUID=<USER_UUID>
• ***It will be necessary to add a header of:
  • Cookie:ZSESSIONID=<APIKey>

Here are a couple of articles that may be helpful if you want to use the API to Add or Delete Watchers:

Watches are not published or documented API endpoints, therefore their use and availability are not guaranteed, additionally, there is no guarantee of support using this method to create watches.
