Zephyr for Jira Create test using API - api

Question

my goal is to create a test in Zephyr for Jira using API. I found something like this on the internet
"fields": {
"issuetype": {
"name": "Test"
},
"project":
{
"key": "TP"
},
"summary": "Test From API",
"description": "",
"assignee": {
"name": "Some Name"
},
"customfield_10014": "SOMEKEY",
"duedate": "2018-10-03",
"priority": {
"name": "Medium"
},
"labels": ["label1", "label2"],
"customfield_19416": "50h",
"customfield_19719": {
"value": "minor"
},
"customfield_11101": [
{
"Test Step": "some text",
"Test Data": "some text",
"Test Result": "some text"
},
{
"Test Step": "some text",
"Test Data": "some text",
"Test Result": "some text"
},
{
"Test Step": "some text",
"Test Data": "some text",
"Test Result": "some text"
}
]
}
I have really no idea what API should I use.
Recently I was able to create test cycle using the following API
https://prod-api.zephyr4jiracloud.com/connect/public/rest/api/1.0/cycle
which can be found on this page
https://zfjcloud.docs.apiary.io/#reference/cycle
Unfortunately I can't find similar API for test creation. Is it possible?
PS: I am using Authorization, Content-Type, zapiAccessKey headers, where Authorization is JWT key
Thanks for the tips

Answer 1

Create an issue in JIRA via the API's. Select the issue type as Test.
https://support.smartbear.com/zephyr-squad-server/docs/api/how-to/create-tests.html
POST /rest/api/2/issue
The above request will give you an ID that is internal to JIRA. Not the one that gets displayed in UI for any Issue/ticket that is created.
Extract this ID field and then
Create the test steps.
https://support.smartbear.com/zephyr-squad-server/docs/api/how-to/add-steps-to-tests.html
POST /rest/zapi/latest/teststep/{issueId}
I don't want to echo the contents on smartbear website.
Hence, this high level workflow solution for your implementation.
