Example API for creating SonarCloud Portfolios

[Gerrie (Gerrie Holtzhausen)]

Looked at previous posts and could not find a resolution.
The previous post provided info around extracting the XML request for a existing portfolio, but I could not get it working same as other users.

Can please share a example rest API that can be used to create portfolios.

Hey @Gerrie

I’d suggest that you refer to this guide.

How to reverse engineer the Sonar Web API

Every action that is taken in SonarQube is driven by the Web API. There is nothing you can do in SonarQube that you cannot do using the Web API. We put a great deal of effort into the UI and UX of our products and sincerely think that most actions should be completed there. Especially when it comes to viewing analysis results, the UI is the best place to view up-to-date information with the right context. We think it is much better that you give access to others to view analysis data …

Take note that Portfolios have been delivered on SonarQube Cloud very recently, and any APIs you sniff out are still internal (and why you aren’t finding any documentation about them)

I did manage to reverse engineer SonarCloud Portfolios, Groups and projects. Thanks.
Working perfectly.
