How to add Test Execution to a Test Plan with Xray Rest API?

I'm trying to add a Test Execution to a Test Plan using Xray Rest API & Axios. I have already created an API key and authenticated successfully like so:

const axios = require('axios');
const { argv } = require('yargs');
const { clientId, clientSecret } = argv;
const headers = { Accept: 'application/json', 'Content-Type': 'application/json',
};
const authenticateXray = async () => { await axios({ method: 'post', url: ` headers, data: { client_id: clientId, // my created client id goes here client_secret: clientSecret, // my created client secret goes here }, }) .then(res => console.log(`Xray authentication response status was: ${res.status}`)) // 200! .catch(e => { throw new Error(e.response.data.error); });
};

Then, I made a call & passed some param values gathered before when creating a Test Plan & Test Execution like so:

await axios({ method: 'posts', url: ` data: { 0: createdTestExecIssue.data.id, },
});

However, I get this error: (node:46352) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Request failed with status code 400. I was able to link a Test Execution to the Test Plan using another endpoint from Jira Rest API, but I'm looking to add it instead, check the screenshot below for reference.

I was able to solve this issue by passing the data differently like so:

await axios({ ... ... data: [`${testExecutionId}`],
});

& passing the X-acpt key/value pair in the Request Header like so:

'X-acpt': `encodedCharaterGoesHere-YouNeedToretrievUsingNetworkTabInChrome`,

My request ended up like so:

await axios({ method: 'post', url: ` headers: { Accept: 'application/json', 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'X-acpt': `encodedCharaterGoesHere-YouNeedToretrievUsingNetworkTabInChrome`, 'X-Powered-By': 'Express', }, data: [`${testExecutionId}`], });

You can do this with the graphQL api, just replace the YourTestPlanID and yourTestExecutionId.

const response = await axios({ method: 'post', url: ' data: { query: `mutation { addTestExecutionsToTestPlan( issueId: "YourTestPlanID", testExecIssueIds: ["yourTestExecutionId"]) { addedTestExecutions warning } }` }, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer TOKEN obtained using the authentication api`, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }
});
