Working Rafts_CreateOrUpdateRaftItem example for Otter

[scusson_9923]

Hi,

Since Otter does not have a native api to upload a script, can we get a working example for Rafts_CreateOrUpdateRaftItem to perform this action to a subfolder? Our goal is to have an automated job push a script upon success.

Thanks,
Scott

Hi @scusson_9923 ,

Here's a one-liner that should hopefully get you started.

Invoke-WebRequest -Method Post -Uri "http://otter.localhost/api/json/Rafts_CreateOrUpdateRaftItem" -Body @{
    API_Key = "abc123"
    Raft_Id = 1
    RaftItemType_Code = 4
    RaftItem_Name = "mypath/myscript.ps1"
    ModifiedOn_Date = Get-Date
    ModifiedBy_User_Name = "API"
    Content_Bytes = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes("'hello world'"))
}

The RaftItemType_Code=4 is not documented, but it's a fixed value and means a script. I recommend creating the item manually first, then looking in the RaftItems table for the Raft_Id and RaftItemType_Code values.

Cheers,
Alana
