Known Issue: Creating a Schedule via the API

#1

There’s a known issue with the API when creating a schedule via the API. Currently, you need to wrap the user object in an envelope to get it to work, like so:

"users": [
          {
            "user": {
            "id": "",
            "type": "user"
          }}
       ]

Example

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Token token=YOUR-APIP-TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
  "schedule": {
    "name": "Created via the API",
    "type": "schedule",
    "time_zone": "America/New_York",
    "description": "Rotation schedule for engineering",
    "schedule_layers": [
      {
        "name": "Night Shift",
        "start": "2017-04-07T20:00:00-05:00",
        "end": "2017-14-07T20:00:00-05:00",
        "rotation_virtual_start": "2017-04-07T20:00:00-05:00",
        "rotation_turn_length_seconds": 86400,
        "users": [
          {
            "id": "PTUW18Z",
            "type": "user"
          }
        ],
        "restrictions": [
          {
            "type": "daily_restriction",
            "start_time_of_day": "08:00:00",
            "duration_seconds": 32400
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
