Does Accurev expose Rest API like other DevOps tools like GIT, JIRA, Jenkins?

Question

I am trying to look for the rest api's to call the various functionalites of Accurev via my custom web application. eg: Rest API to list recent commits in a stream.

Answer 1

AFAIK, you will use the AccuRev CLI to extract the information you need.

Answer 2

Regardless of what programming language you're using, the pattern for interacting with Accuev from other applications is the same.

1. Programatically execute the Accurev command via a shell/command prompt.
2. Either capture standard output or pipe the output of the command to a file.
3. Read the output and parse to meet your needs.

Answer 3

Accurev has a Java library. Sadly, there are no examples of how to use it. Currently trying to figure it out myself.
