🧪 Tramline API

Tramline currently exposes three API endpoints to fetch release information and to send custom build metadata to Tramline.

You need your Account ID and API Key before you can make any requests. To get these click on Settings in the dropdown on the top-right:

Here you will find the relevant API settings:

info

Only a user with owner or developer privileges can access these API settings.

Get the latest release made to the store for an app​

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer your-api-key" \
     -H "X-TRAMLINE-ACCOUNT-ID: your-account-id" \
     -H "Accept: application/json" \
     https://tramline.dev/api/v1/apps/<app-id>

This API would respond with a format like this:

{
  "latest": {
    "ios": [
      {
        "build_version": "8.0.0",
        "build_number": "471279587",
        "updated_at": "2023-07-04T06:50:46.180Z",
        "platform": "ios"
      }
    ],
    "android": [
      {
        "build_version": "10.18.1",
        "build_number": "471280026",
        "updated_at": "2023-09-14T09:55:02.743Z",
        "platform": "android"
      }
    ]
  }
}

You can use jq to parse parts for this response on your CI (or CLI) as follows:

jq '.latest.android[0].build_version'

...to get the latest build version for Android.

Get all release versions sent to the store for a given release​

You can either specify a particular branch

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer your-api-key" \
     -H "X-TRAMLINE-ACCOUNT-ID: your-account-id" \
     -H "Accept: application/json" \
     https://tramline.dev/api/v1/releases/<release-branch-name>

...or you can just use the release ID directly.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer your-api-key" \
     -H "X-TRAMLINE-ACCOUNT-ID: your-account-id" \
     -H "Accept: application/json" \
     https://tramline.dev/api/v1/releases/<release-id>

This API would respond with a format like this:

{
  "releases": {
    "android": [
      {
        "build_version": "8.0.0",
        "build_number": "471279578",
        "updated_at": "2023-07-03T17:19:49.428Z",
        "platform": "android"
      },
      {
        "build_version": "8.0.2",
        "build_number": "471279585",
        "updated_at": "2023-07-03T18:40:58.189Z",
        "platform": "android"
      }
    ],
    "ios": [
      {
        "build_version": "8.0.0",
        "build_number": "471279587",
        "updated_at": "2023-07-04T06:50:46.180Z",
        "platform": "ios"
      }
    ]
  }
}

You can use jq to parse parts for this response on your CI (or CLI) as follows:

jq '.releases.android | map(.build_version)'

...to get all the builds generated for Android during the release.

Send custom metadata for a build​

You can send custom metadata to be displayed on Tramline dashboard about your build. Each metadata should have a unique identifier, and its value can be numerical or textual. The trend of all numeric metadata will be shown on Tramline dashboard.

Examples of metadata: app launch time, unit test coverage etc.

For a valid build, identified by version-name and version-code, Tramline will create or update the custom build metadata.

curl -X PATCH \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer your-api-key" \
     -H "X-TRAMLINE-ACCOUNT-ID: your-account-id" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
        "external_metadata": [
            {
                "identifier": "app_launch_time",
                "name": "App Launch Time",
                "description": "This is the time in seconds for the app to start",
                "value": 0.6,
                "type": "number",
                "unit": "seconds"
            }
        ]
    }' \
     https://tramline.dev/api/v1/apps/<app-id>/builds/<version-name>/<version-code>/external_metadata

The external_metadata in the request body should adhere to the following schema:

{
  "type": "array",
  "items": {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "identifier": {
        "type": "string"
      },
      "name": {
        "type": "string"
      },
      "description": {
        "type": "string"
      },
      "value": {
        "anyOf": [
          {
            "type": "number"
          },
          {
            "type": "string"
          }
        ]
      },
      "type": {
        "type": "string",
        "enum": [
          "number",
          "string"
        ]
      },
      "unit": {
        "type": "string"
      }
    },
    "required": [
      "identifier",
      "value",
      "type"
    ]
  }
}
