Promote Build Using API

nsitnikov_5096

We are trying to promote an application build to a particular environment using API, but we can't seem to get it working. We created full (unrestricted) access key for this.
Tried 2 type of calls:

This one returns 404:

http://bmserver:port/api/releases/builds/deploy?buildNumber=3&releaseId=722&applicationId=123&toStage=Development&key=<APIKey>

This one returns 500 server error:

http://bmserver:port/api/json/Builds_PromoteBuild?Application_Id=123&Release_Number=0.0.4&Build_Number=3&Comments_Text=SomeText&ForcePromotion_Indicator=N&PromoteTo_PipelineStage_Name=Development&SetFurthestStage_Indicator=N&key=<APIKey>

Calling another method with the same API key works fine:

http://bmserver:port/api/json/Builds_GetExecution?Execution_Id=25537&key=<APIKey>

Tried switching between releaseId/releaseNumber didn't help much. Can you provide a complete sample call to promote/deploy a build?

Thanks

Here is a working PowerShell example (v6.1+):

Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -Uri "http://{bmserver:port}/api/releases/builds/deploy?applicationName=ApiTest&releaseNumber=1.2.3&buildNumber=1&key=<api-key>"

For pre-v6.1 versions, the equivalent is:

Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -Uri "http://{bmserver:port}/api/releases/packages/deploy?applicationName=ApiTest&releaseNumber=1.2.3&packageNumber=1&key=<api-key>"

I have also put in a doc change request to clarify the endpoint names.

Additional note: -UseDefaultCredentials would be required if Integrated Authentication were enabled.
