Deploy new APK/IPA with TestProject APIs
If you are using an APK or IPA of an application to run tests against, you may have to frequently update it as you get new builds. Thankfully, the TestProject APIs provide functionality for doing this. These APIs can of course be called from your scripting language of choice. In this article we will walk through how to do this in the interactive UI provided by the API documentation which you can find here. You can also find an article here on the TestProject blog which outlines how to do these calls in javascript.
The API Documentation page,shows the various API calls available. For this example we are looking at uploading an APK or IPA file and so the first call we will need to make is in the Applications section. Since we want to upload the file to an existing application we will want to use the file upload endpoint.

File upload endpoint
However, as you can see in the description for this endpoint, we first need to call the
v2/projects/{projectId}/applications/{appId}/file/upload-link
endpoint to get the location of the application files. That end point has two parameters that wee need to fill in; the project id and the app id.Before you can do any API calls, you will need to authorize the API. To do this you will need an API key. You can get you API key by going to the integrations tab and then navigating to the API page. From there you can create an API key and specify what projects you want to enable for use with that key.

Create an API Key

Copy API Key
On the API Documentation page you need to click on the Authorize button.

Authorize API Calls
You can then paste in your key, click on the authorize button and close the dialogue
The appId can be found in TestProject using the options menu beside the application (this tutorial assumes you have already uploaded the application and you are now trying to update it).

Get Application Id
You can get the projectId in a similar way to the appId by going to the project and using the Copy ID option on the more menu.

ProjectId
Once you have those values, you can click on the try it out button for the
upload-link
endpoint and fill in the parameters in their respective fields
Fill in parameters
You can then click on the Execute button to send the request. You should get back an API response which contains the url for the application you are interested in. You can now use this url as the location where you will put your APK or IPA file. You will need to call the API endpoint as a
PUT
request using a tool like Postman and including the APK or IPA file as the body to the request.When uploading a file in the request body select the option binary
Once you have uploaded the file, you will need to confirm the upload using the
v2/projects/{projectId}/applications/{appId}/file
endpoint. Once again fill in the application Id and the Project Id and execute the request
Confirm the upload
And with that you have uploaded a new version of your APK or IPA file for testing against in TestProject. As a next step you may find it helpful to script this in you CI using this blog post as an example.
