The REST APIs in DTP provide access to defects, requirements, tasks, and iterations through URL paths. The REST APIs can be used by developers who want to integrate DTP with other applications. The REST API use JSON as the payload format. The REST APIs support HTTP POST (create/update), GET (retrieve), PUT (update), and DELETE.
DTP REST APIs are only available over SSL (HTTPS) and require Basic Authentication. If you upgraded from a version prior to 4.9.3, you need to manually enable the SSL port. See Enabling SSL for instructions. For Basic Authentication, the username/password required are the same username/password required to log into DTP.
