Review List Resource¶

Provides information on reviews made on a review request.

Each review can contain zero or more comments on diffs, screenshots, file attachments or general comments not tied to any code or file. It may also have text preceding the comments (the body_top field), and text following the comments (body_bottom).

A review may have replies made. Replies are flat, not threaded. Like a review, there may be body text and there may be comments (which are replies to comments on the parent review).

If the ship_it field is true, then the reviewer has given their approval of the change, once all issues raised on comments have been addressed.

Request Parameters¶

counts-onlyBoolean	If specified, a single `count` field is returned with the number of results, instead of the results themselves.
max-resultsInteger	The maximum number of results to return in this list. By default, this is 25. There is a hard limit of 200; if you need more than 200 results, you will need to make more than one request, using the “next” pagination link.
startInteger	The 0-based index of the first result in the list. The start index is usually the previous start index plus the number of previous results. By default, this is 0.

HTTP POST¶

Creates a new review.

The new review will start off as private. Only the author of the review (the user who is logged in and issuing this API call) will be able to see and interact with the review.

Initial data for the review can be provided by passing data for any number of the fields. If nothing is provided, the review will start off as blank.

If the user submitting this review already has a pending draft review on this review request, then this will update the existing draft and return HTTP 303 See Other. Otherwise, this will create a new draft and return HTTP 201 Created. Either way, this request will return without a payload and with a Location header pointing to the location of the new draft review.
