Bugzilla Information
====================
These methods are used to get general configuration information about this
Bugzilla instance.
Version
-------
Returns the current version of Bugzilla. Normally in the format of ``X.X`` or
``X.X.X``. For example, ``4.4`` for the initial release of a new branch. Or
``4.4.6`` for a minor release on the same branch.
**Request**
.. code-block:: text
GET /rest/version
**Response**
.. code-block:: js
{
"version": "4.5.5+"
}
======= ====== =========================================
name type description
======= ====== =========================================
version string The current version of this Bugzilla
======= ====== =========================================
Extensions
----------
Gets information about the extensions that are currently installed and enabled
in this Bugzilla.
**Request**
.. code-block:: text
GET /rest/extensions
**Response**
.. code-block:: js
{
"extensions": {
"Voting": {
"version": "4.5.5+"
},
"BmpConvert": {
"version": "1.0"
}
}
}
========== ====== ====================================================
name type description
========== ====== ====================================================
extensions object An object containing the extensions enabled as keys.
Each extension object contains the following keys:
* ``version`` (string) The version of the extension.
========== ====== ====================================================
Timezone
--------
Returns the timezone in which Bugzilla expects to receive dates and times on the API.
Currently hard-coded to UTC ("+0000"). This is unlikely to change.
**Request**
.. code-block:: text
GET /rest/timezone
.. code-block:: js
{
"timezone": "+0000"
}
**Response**
======== ====== ===============================================================
name type description
======== ====== ===============================================================
timezone string The timezone offset as a string in (+/-)XXXX (RFC 2822) format.
======== ====== ===============================================================
Time
----
Gets information about what time the Bugzilla server thinks it is, and
what timezone it's running in.
**Request**
.. code-block:: text
GET /rest/time
**Response**
.. code-block:: js
{
"web_time_utc": "2014-09-26T18:01:30Z",
"db_time": "2014-09-26T18:01:30Z",
"web_time": "2014-09-26T18:01:30Z",
"tz_offset": "+0000",
"tz_short_name": "UTC",
"tz_name": "UTC"
}
============= ====== ==========================================================
name type description
============= ====== ==========================================================
db_time string The current time in UTC, according to the Bugzilla
database server.
Note that Bugzilla assumes that the database and the
webserver are running in the same time zone. However,
if the web server and the database server aren't
synchronized or some reason, *this* is the time that
you should rely on or doing searches and other input
to the WebService.
web_time string This is the current time in UTC, according to
Bugzilla's web server.
This might be different by a second from ``db_time``
since this comes from a different source. If it's any
more different than a second, then there is likely
some problem with this Bugzilla instance. In this
case you should rely on the ``db_time``, not the
``web_time``.
web_time_utc string Identical to ``web_time``. (Exists only for
backwards-compatibility with versions of Bugzilla
before 3.6.)
tz_name string The literal string ``UTC``. (Exists only for
backwards-compatibility with versions of Bugzilla
before 3.6.)
tz_short_name string The literal string ``UTC``. (Exists only for
backwards-compatibility with versions of Bugzilla
before 3.6.)
tz_offset string The literal string ``+0000``. (Exists only for
backwards-compatibility with versions of Bugzilla
before 3.6.)

Parameters
----------
Returns parameter values currently used in this Bugzilla.
**Request**
.. code-block:: text
GET /rest/parameters
**Response**
Example response for anonymous user:
.. code-block:: js
{
"parameters" : {
"maintainer" : "admin@example.com",
"requirelogin" : "0"
}
}
Example response for authenticated user:
.. code-block:: js
{
"parameters" : {
"allowemailchange" : "1",
"attachment_base" : "http://bugzilla.example.com/",
"commentonchange_resolution" : "0",
"commentonduplicate" : "0",
"cookiepath" : "/",
"createemailregexp" : ".*",
"defaultopsys" : "",
"defaultplatform" : "",
"defaultpriority" : "--",
"defaultseverity" : "normal",
"duplicate_or_move_bug_status" : "RESOLVED",
"emailregexp" : "^[\\w\\.\\+\\-=']+@[\\w\\.\\-]+\\.[\\w\\-]+$",
"emailsuffix" : "",
"letsubmitterchoosemilestone" : "1",
"letsubmitterchoosepriority" : "1",
"mailfrom" : "bugzilla-daemon@example.com",
"maintainer" : "admin@example.com",
"maxattachmentsize" : "1000",
"maxlocalattachment" : "0",
"musthavemilestoneonaccept" : "0",
"noresolveonopenblockers" : "0",
"password_complexity" : "no_constraints",
"rememberlogin" : "on",
"requirelogin" : "0",
"urlbase" : "http://bugzilla.example.com/",
"use_see_also" : "1",
"useclassification" : "1",
"usemenuforusers" : "0",
"useqacontact" : "1",
"usestatuswhiteboard" : "1",
"usetargetmilestone" : "1",
}
}
A logged-out user can only access the ``maintainer`` and ``requirelogin``
parameters.
A logged-in user can access the following parameters (listed alphabetically):
* allowemailchange
* attachment_base
* commentonchange_resolution
* commentonduplicate
* cookiepath
* defaultopsys
* defaultplatform
* defaultpriority
* defaultseverity
* duplicate_or_move_bug_status
* emailregexpdesc
* emailsuffix
* letsubmitterchoosemilestone
* letsubmitterchoosepriority
* mailfrom
* maintainer
* maxattachmentsize
* maxlocalattachment
* musthavemilestoneonaccept
* noresolveonopenblockers
* password_complexity
* rememberlogin
* requirelogin
* search_allow_no_criteria
* urlbase
* use_see_also
* useclassification
* usemenuforusers
* useqacontact
* usestatuswhiteboard
* usetargetmilestone
A user in the tweakparams group can access all existing parameters.
New parameters can appear or obsolete parameters can disappear depending
on the version of Bugzilla and on extensions being installed.
The list of parameters returned by this method is not stable and will
never be stable.
