Retrieve a Department by Department ID
Description: This API method retrieves a Department from the Issuetrak data store for a specified Department ID. The “departmentID” parameter must correspond to an existing Department. If there is no such Department ID, an error message will be returned with an HTTP response status code of 404.
When retrieving an Department using the API, no special character decoding (e.g., HTML decoding < as < or > as >) is performed. Therefore, please note that the DepartmentName returned via the API method represents the DepartmentName as stored within the Issuetrak database. Thus, when retrieving a Department created through the Issuetrak web interface where HTML encoding of the DepartmentName is performed, the API consumer may desire to perform additional client-side decoding.
A successful response will include an HTTP status code of 200 (OK) and a response body containing a serialized ReadDepartmentDTO instance.
Response DTO Schema:
ReadDepartmentDTO
{
ExtensionData (Array[CustomKeyValuePairDataElement]),
Metadata (Array[CustomKeyValuePairDataElement]),
DepartmentID (integer),
DepartmentName (string),
IsActive (boolean),
IsInternal (boolean)
}
CustomKeyValuePairDataElement
{
Key (string),
Value (object)
}
Request HTTP Verb: GET
Response Status Codes:
- Success: 200
- Invalid Department ID: 400 (Bad Request, e.g., a negative integer is supplied)
- Non-existent Department: 404
- Invalid Department ID: 422 (Unprocessable Entity, e.g., a non-numeric value is supplied)
Response Properties:
- The Metadata property provides a key/value collection of additional data about the API operation and/or the response body.
- BREAKING CHANGES from Previous API Versions:
- The “AutoAssignTo” (string) property has been removed as of Issuetrak API 10.0.
