Add Git Connectors Using API

This topic describes how to create, read, update, and delete Git Connectors using Harness GraphQL APIs.

In this document, GitHub Repo is used as an example. But you can use Harness GraphQL APIs for the other supported Harness Source Repo Providers as well.

Before You Begin

Step: Create a Git Connector

Use this sample query to create a Git Connector.

Request

You create a Git Connector using the mutation createConnector. You can use passwordSecretId or sshSettingId to authenticate to your Git connector.

mutation CreateConnector($connector: CreateConnectorInput!) {  
createConnector(input: $connector) {
clientMutationId
connector {
id
name
...on GitConnector{
userName
passwordSecretId
webhookUrl
customCommitDetails {
authorEmailId
authorName
commitMessage
}
}
}
}
}

Query Variables

The Query Variables follow this syntax, with connectorType identifying the Git Connector to create.

To fetch the passwordSecretId or sshSettingId use:

The following sample query variable uses passwordSecretId to authenticate to the Git connector.

{  
"connector": {
"connectorType": "GIT",
"gitConnector": {
"urlType": "ACCOUNT",
"name": "connectorName",
"generateWebhookUrl": true,
"URL": "https://github.com/abc-xyz/test",
"userName": "user-harness",
"passwordSecretId": "xxxxxx",
"branch": "testBranch",
"customCommitDetails": {
"authorName": "User Harness",
"authorEmailId": "user.harness@harness.io",
"commitMessage": "commit message"
}
}
}
}

Response

{  
"data": {
"createConnector": {
"clientMutationId": null,
"connector": {
"id": "xxxxxx",
"name": "connectorNameSample",
"userName": "test1",
"passwordSecretId": "xxxxxx",
"webhookUrl": "https://test.xyz.io/api/setup-as-code/yaml/webhook/xxxxxx?accountId=xxxxxx",
"customCommitDetails": {
"authorEmailId": "user.harness@harness.io",
"authorName": "User Harness",
"commitMessage": "test commit message"
}
}
}
}
}

The following sample query variable uses sshSettingId to authenticate to the Git connector.

{  
"connector": {
"connectorType": "GIT",
"gitConnector": {
"urlType": "ACCOUNT",
"name": "connectorName",
"generateWebhookUrl": true,
"URL": "git@github.com/abc-xyz/test",
"sshSettingId": "xxxxxx",
"branch": "testBranch",
"customCommitDetails": {
"authorName": "User Harness",
"authorEmailId": "user.harness@harness.io",
"commitMessage": "commit message"
}
}
}
}

Step: Update a Git Connector

Use this sample query to update a Git Connector.

Request

You update a Git Connector using the mutation updateConnector. You can use passwordSecretId or sshSettingId to authenticate to your Git connector.

mutation UpdateConnector($connector: UpdateConnectorInput!) {  
updateConnector(input: $connector) {
clientMutationId
connector {
id
name
...on GitConnector{
userName
passwordSecretId
webhookUrl
urlType
customCommitDetails {
authorEmailId
authorName
commitMessage
}
}
}
}
}

Query Variables

The Query Variables follow this syntax, with connectorType identifying the Git Connector to update. See Fetch the Connector ID to get the connector ID details.

{  
"connector": {
"connectorType": "GIT",
"connectorId": "xxxxxx",
"gitConnector": {
"name": "connectorName",
"generateWebhookUrl": true,
"URL": "https://github.com/abc-xyz/test",
"userName": "user-harness",
"passwordSecretId": "xxxxxx",
"branch": "testBranch",
"customCommitDetails": {
"authorName": "Test",
"authorEmailId": "abc@xyz.io",
"commitMessage": "test commit message"
}
}
}
}

Response

{  
"data": {
"updateConnector": {
"clientMutationId": null,
"connector": {
"id": "xxxxxx",
"name": "connectorNameSample1",
"userName": "test1",
"passwordSecretId": "xxxxxx",
"webhookUrl": "https://test.xyz.io/api/setup-as-code/yaml/webhook/xxxxxx?accountId=xxxxxx",
"urlType": "REPO",
"customCommitDetails": {
"authorEmailId": "abc@xyz.io",
"authorName": "Test",
"commitMessage": "test commit message updated"
}
}
}
}

Fetch the Connector ID

Use the following query to fetch the ID of a connector. A list of connectors is returned based on the set filters. You can select the ID of the connector that you want to update.

query{  
connectors(filters: [
{
connectorType: {
operator: EQUALS,
values: [GIT]
}
}
],
limit: 10){
nodes{
id
name
...on GitConnector {
branch
customCommitDetails{
authorEmailId
authorName
commitMessage
}
}
}
}
}

Step: Delete a Git Connector

You delete a Git Connector using the mutation deleteConnector. Deleting a Git Connector requires its ID only.

Request

mutation DeleteConnectorMutation($connector: DeleteConnectorInput!) {  
deleteConnector(input: $connector) {
clientMutationId
}
}

Query Variables

Query Variables, with connectorId identifies the Git Connector to delete.

{  
"connector": {
"connectorId": "xxxxxx"
}
}
