JIRA Agile REST API Reference

JIRA Agile 7.2.3

This is the reference document for the REST API and resources provided by JIRA Agile in JIRA Software. The REST APIs are for developers who want to integrate JIRA Agile with other standalone or web applications, and administrators who want to script interactions with the JIRA Agile.

JIRA Agile is an add-on, which is part of the JIRA Software application and provides the Agile planning features like boards and sprints. JIRA Software is built on the JIRA platform. As such, there is a natural overlap in functionality between what is provided by JIRA Software and what is provided by the JIRA platform. If you are after an introductory, high-level view of the JIRA REST APIs, like the JIRA Agile REST API, rather than an exhaustive reference document, then the best place to start is the JIRA REST API home.

Structure of the REST URIs

JIRA Agile's REST APIs provide access to resources (data entities) via URI paths. To use a REST API, your application will make an HTTP request and parse the response. The JIRA Agile REST API uses JSON as its communication format, and the standard HTTP methods like GET, PUT, POST and DELETE (see API descriptions below for which methods are available for each resource). URIs for JIRA Agile's REST API resource have the following structure:

http://host:port/context/rest/api-name/api-version/resource-name

Note:

  • There are two API names available: auth for authentication-related operations and api for everything else. These are discussed further below.
  • The current API version is 1. However, there is also a symbolic version, called latest, which resolves to the JIRA Agile version supported by the latest JIRA Software instance. As an example, if you wanted to retrieve the JSON representation of the Teams in Space board (boardId=123) from an example JIRA Software instance https://jira.example.com, you would access:
    https://jira.example.com/rest/agile/latest/board/123

Authentication

Any authentication that works against JIRA Software will work against the REST API. The preferred authentication methods are OAuth and HTTP Basic (when using SSL), which are both documented in the JIRA REST API Tutorials. Other supported methods include: HTTP Cookies, and Trusted Applications.

The login page uses cookie-based authentication, so if you are using JIRA Software in a browser you can call REST from JavaScript on the page and rely on the authentication that the browser has established. Callers wanting to reproduce the behaviour of the JIRA Software login page (for example, to display authentication error messages to users) or who are calling both the REST and SOAP API can POST to the /auth/1/session resource as per the documentation below.

You can find OAuth code samples in several programming languages at bitbucket.org/atlassian_tutorial/atlassian-oauth-examples.

Pagination

Pagination is used for the JIRA REST APIs to conserve server resources and limit response size for resources that return potentially large collection of items. A request to a pages API will result in a values array wrapped in a JSON object with some paging metada, like this:

Request

http://host:port/context/rest/api-name/api-version/resource-name?start=0&limit=10

Response

{
    "startAt" : 0,
    "maxResults" : 10,
    "total": 200,
    "values": [
        { /* result 0 */ },
        { /* result 1 */ },
        { /* result 2 */ }
    ]
}
  • startAt - the item used as the first item in the page of results.
  • maxResults - how many results to return per page.
  • total - the number of items that the calling user has permissions for. This number may change while the client requests the next pages. A client should always assume that the requested page can be empty. REST API consumers should also consider the field to be optional. This value may not be included in the response, if it is too expensive to calculate.

Clients can use the startAt, maxResults, and total parameters to retrieve the desired number of results. Note, each API resource or method may have a different limit on the number of items returned, which means you can ask for more than you are given. The actual number of items returned is an implementation detail and this can be changed over time.

Experimental methods

Methods marked as experimental may change without an earlier notice. We are looking for your feedback for these methods.

Query parameters

All query parameters for the resources described below are optional, unless specified otherwise.

Special Request and Response headers

  • X-AUSERNAME - Response header which contains either username of the authenticated user or 'anonymous'.
  • X-Atlassian-Token - methods which accept multipart/form-data will only process requests with 'X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck' header.

Resources

agile/1.0/backlog

Move issues to the backlog.
This operation is equivalent to remove future and active sprints from a given set of issues. At most 50 issues may be moved at once.

Request

Example
{"issues":["PR-1","10001","PR-3"]}

Responses
  • Status 204
    Empty response is returned if operation was successful.
  • Status 400
    Returned if the request is invalid.
  • Status 401
    Returned if the user is not logged in.
  • Status 403
    Returned if user does not a have valid license or does not have permission to assign issues.
  • Status 404
    Returned if sprint does not exist or the user cannot view it.

agile/1.0/board

Returns all boards. This only includes boards that the user has permission to view.

Request
query parameters
parametertypedescription
startAtlong

The starting index of the returned boards. Base index: 0. See the 'Pagination' section at the top of this page for more details.

maxResultsint

The maximum number of boards to return per page. Default: 50. See the 'Pagination' section at the top of this page for more details.

typestring

Filters results to boards of the specified type. Valid values: scrum, kanban.

namestring

Filters results to boards that match or partially match the specified name.

projectKeyOrIdstring

Filters results to boards that are relevant to a project. Relevance meaning that the jql filter defined in board contains a reference to a project.

Responses
  • Status 200 - application/json

    Example
    {"maxResults":2,"startAt":1,"total":5,"isLast":false,"values":[{"id":84,"self":"http://www.example.com/jira/rest/agile/1.0/board/84","name":"scrum board","type":"scrum"},{"id":92,"self":"http://www.example.com/jira/rest/agile/1.0/board/92","name":"kanban board","type":"kanban"}]}

    Returns the requested boards, at the specified page of the results.
  • Status 400
    Returned if the request is invalid.
  • Status 401
    Returned if the user is not logged in.
  • Status 403
    Returned if the user does not have valid license.

Creates a new board. Board name, type and filter Id is required.

  • name - Must be less than 255 characters.
  • type - Valid values: scrum, kanban
  • filterId - Id of a filter that the user has permissions to view. Note, if the user does not have the 'Create shared objects' permission and tries to create a shared board, a private board will be created instead (remember that board sharing depends on the filter sharing).

Note:

  • If you want to create a new project with an associated board, use the JIRA platform REST API. For more information, see the Create project method. The projectTypeKey for software boards must be 'software' and the projectTemplateKey must be either com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:gh-kanban-template or com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:gh-scrum-template.
  • You can create a filter using the JIRA REST API. For more information, see the Create filter method.
  • If you do not ORDER BY the Rank field for the filter of your board, you will not be able to reorder issues on the board.

Get the board configuration. The response contains the following fields:

  • id - Id of the board.
  • name - Name of the board.
  • filter - Reference to the filter used by the given board.
  • subQuery (Kanban only) - JQL subquery used by the given board.
  • columnConfig - The column configuration lists the columns for the board, in the order defined in the column configuration. For each column, it shows the issue status mapping as well as the constraint type (Valid values: none, issueCount, issueCountExclSubs) for the min/max number of issues. Note, the last column with statuses mapped to it is treated as the "Done" column, which means that issues in that column will be marked as already completed.
  • estimation (Scrum only) - Contains information about type of estimation used for the board. Valid values: none, issueCount, field. If the estimation type is "field", the Id and display name of the field used for estimation is also returned. Note, estimates for an issue can be updated by a PUT /rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey} request, however the fields must be on the screen. "timeoriginalestimate" field will never be on the screen, so in order to update it "originalEstimate" in "timetracking" field should be updated.
  • ranking - Contains information about custom field used for ranking in the given board.

agile/1.0/epic

Epic is an enriched JIRA issue. Due to split nature of the entity, in order to perform complete create, update, and delete, you must leverage JIRA REST API. JIRA resources will help you manage the issue part of an Epic, and the following Agile resources give you control over Agile specific aspects.

To create new epic use JIRA resource POST /rest/api/2/issue.
Note issueType must be set to epic and Epic Name custom field is mandatory. You can obtain Epic Name custom field id with JIRA resource GET /rest/api/2/field.
To update issue specific fields of an epic use JIRA resource PUT /rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}.
To remove an epic use JIRA resource DELETE /rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}.

Returns the epic for a given epic Id. This epic will only be returned if the user has permission to view it.
