Upload API

Overview

This page describes the HTTP API for uploading instrumented builds to the Product Science Tool.

HTTP API

Host: productscience.app
Protocol: HTTPS
Content type: application/json
Charset: utf-8

To access the API endpoints, you must supply your productscience.token from the productscience.properties or (productscience.yaml) file as an Authorization header. For instance:

Authorization: Bearer {YOUR_TOKEN}

API

1. Submit build metadata and obtain upload URL

Call this endpoint when your build file is ready.

Request

POST /api/v1/projects/{projectName}/builds

JSON body with parameters:

  • buildType (required) – INSTRUMENTED_APK (for iOS also)
  • buildFileName (required) – file name, e.g. app-play-release.apk
  • name – arbitrary name to distinguish the build, e.g. release-5.2.8
  • description – arbitrary build description
  • sourceControlId – VCS commit, e.g. git commit hash
  • sourceControlIsoTimestamp – VCS commit timestamp in ISO 8601 format. To retrieve the timestamp in Git, you can use the following shell command: git show -s --format='%cI' <commit-hash>

Example:

{
  "buildType": "APK",
  "buildFileName": "app-play-release.apk",
  "name": "v5.2.8",
  "description": "Arbitrary description",
  "sourceControlId": "e3c0fedc625094db1cbb2823fd425b51ddc0932e",
  "sourceControlIsoTimestamp": "2024-03-07T14:55:43.540Z"
}

Response

JSON body with parameters:

  • uploadSpec (required) – metadata to upload build to a storage
    • method (required) – HTTP method
    • url (required) – URL
    • headers (required) – map of HTTP headers
  • build (required) – build metadata
    • id (required) – build ID number
    • contextId (required) – upload context ID obtained in step 1
    • buildType (required) – INSTRUMENTED_APK
    • buildFileName (required) – file name, e.g. app-play-release.apk
    • name – arbitrary name to distinguish the build, e.g. release-5.2.8
    • description – arbitrary build description
    • sourceControlId – VCS commit, e.g. git commit hash
    • sourceControlIsoTimestamp – VCS commit timestamp in ISO 8601 format
    • uploadStateUPLOADING or FINISHED or FAILED
    • dateCreated – build creation timestamp

Example:

{
  "uploadSpec": {
    "method": "PUT",
    "url": "https://storage.googleapis.com/some/path?someParams=someValue",
    "headers": {
      "Content-Type": "application/octet-stream",

    "dateCreated": "2024-03-08T14:13:33.143Z",
    "uploadState": "UPLOADING"
  }
}

2. Upload file to the obtained URL

Use uploadSpec object from the previous response to upload a file as application/octet-stream.

{uploadSpec.method} {uploadSpec.url}
{uploadSpec.hearder1}: {uploadSpec.header1Value}
{uploadSpec.hearder2}: {uploadSpec.header2Value}
Content-Length: {YOUR_FILE_LENGTH}

{YOUR_FILE_BINARY_DATA}
