Upload zip file using public URL

You need to upload the .zip file of your .app directory containing your EarlGrey test cases to BrowserStack servers. Its easy to upload the .zip file from a public URL to BrowserStack using the REST API. This approach is useful when the zip file is hosted on a remote server (e.g. S3 bucket) and its downloadable via a publicly accessible URL.

Here is an example cURL request to upload an EarlGrey zip file using a public URL :

curl -u "YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" \
-X POST "https://api-cloud.browserstack.com/app-automate/earlgrey/app-dir" \
-F "url=https://www.browserstack.com/app-automate/sample-apps/ios/BStack-EarlGrey-SampleApp.zip"

A sample response to the above API request is shown below :

{
    "test_url":"bs://f7c874f21852ba57957a3fdc33f47514288c4ba4"
}

Please note the value of test_url in the API response (bs://f7c874f21852.... in the above example). This value will be used later to specify the appDir for your EarlGrey test execution.

Note:
  1. zip file upload will take a few seconds to about a minute depending on the size of your test-suite. Do not interrupt the cURL command until you get the response back.
  2. We will delete the uploaded test-suite after 30 days from the date of upload.
