How can I call pre-release Rest Apis from an Azure DevOps extension?

问题

It seems REST clients for preview versions of the Azure DevOps REST APIs do not get published. So the API is there and works, but a REST client is not.

So how can I access e.g. the 6.0 (as of now: preview) feature pagesBatch from an Azure DevOps extension?

回答1:

Because it's a preview API and not included yet in the SDK you can do a pure HTTP Get/Post Rest API calls with Typescript, for example:

Install:

npm install --save request
npm install --save request-promise-native

Then in the extension:

import * as request from "request-promise-native";

(async () => {

  const url = 'https://dev.azure.com/fabrikam/e5e9e01e-801a-47eb-80bb-0ad24f448abe/_apis/wiki/wikis/sampleProjectWiki/pagesBatch';
  const result = await request.post(url, access_token: 'your-pat', body: JSON.stringify({pageViewsForDays: '30', continuationToken: '1', top: '5', 'content_type': 'application/json' }}}) );


 })()

Or use another Rest API methods, there are many ways to do it on Typescript.
