This page lists the objects used on the [[Bugzilla:REST_API]], and the fields of each, along with their types, descriptions, and any names those fields may have in other contexts.
<div style="border: thin dotted #aaa; padding:5px;">
'''This specific REST API, generally referred to as "BzAPI", is DEPRECATED. For new projects, use the [[Bugzilla:REST_API|native REST API]] instead. The BMO team has implemented a [[Bugzilla:BzAPI:CompatLayer|compatibility layer]] to help existing apps transition off BzAPI onto the native REST API. Please migrate existing BzAPI-based apps to the new compatibility-layer endpoint as soon as possible, as BzAPI will be shut off at some point in the future. Direct any questions to the [[BMO]] team.
 
'''The native REST API is available in Bugzilla 5.0 and up, and on bugzilla.mozilla.org.  Although BzAPI is deprecated, it can be used with older Bugzilla installations (versions prior to 5.0) to provide a REST API.'''

This page lists the objects used on the [[Bugzilla:BzAPI]], and the fields of each, along with their types, descriptions, and any names those fields may have in other contexts.

* A general API principle is that if you don't submit a field or object to a change function, it's unchanged. This means you can send simple changes without having to send the entire bug. However, due to limitations of Bugzilla, this does not work with attachments - you need to send the whole object.
* Fields marked Read Only are set automatically by Bugzilla, based on other information or fields. They may be returned by GET calls, but will be ignored in POST or PUT. (So you don't have to remove them before sending an object back.)
* Fields marked Read Only are set automatically by Bugzilla, based on other information or fields. They may be returned by GET calls, but will be ignored in POST or PUT. (So you don't have to remove them before sending an object back.)
* Fields marked No Mod can be set when the object is created, but are Read Only thereafter.
* Fields marked No Mod can be set when the object is created, but are Read Only thereafter.
* Fields marked Optional may be missing entirely. Other fields are guaranteed to be present but may be blank. XXX_make_it_so.
* For the objects other than [[#Bug|Bug]], some fields are marked Optional to show that they are not always present. For a [[#Bug|Bug]], all fields should be considered Optional apart from "id" and "ref".
* For fields of type Boolean, on submit, "0" and 0 are false; everything else is true. This may get relaxed later.
* For fields of type Boolean, on submit, please use "1" and "0" for true and false. This may get relaxed later.
* Fields of type Timestamp are in an ISO 8601 format - either YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS or YYYYMMDDTHH:MM:SS (T being a literal "T"). Eventually, all will also have a +DDDD timezone marker, but currently most don't.
* Fields of type Timestamp should be sent and received in the UTC timezone in ISO 8601 format - YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ (T and Z being a literal "T" and "Z").

Between 3.6 and 4.0, Bugzilla changed which of these two fields was considered "primary". Note that you should never have Bugzilla version problems if you always supply both fields on submit, and the two fields refer to the same group (i.e. no mismatches).
