JIRA REST API documentation

GET

Returns general information about the current JIRA server.

available response representations:

• 200 - application/json (serverInfo) [expand]

  Example

  {"baseUrl":"http://localhost:8080/jira","version":"4.2-SNAPSHOT","buildNumber":582,"buildDate":"2011-11-28T05:54:39.708-0600","serverTime":"2011-11-28T05:54:39.708-0600","scmInfo":"482389","buildPartnerName":"Example Partner Co.","serverTitle":"My Shiny New JIRA Server"}

  Returns a full representation of the server info in JSON format

GET

Returns a user. This resource cannot be accessed anonymously.

request query parameters

available response representations:

• 404 [expand]

  Returned if the requested user is not found.

• 200 - application/json (user) [expand]

  Example

  {"self":"http://www.example.com/jira/rest/api/2.0/user?username=fred","name":"fred","emailAddress":"fred@example.com","avatarUrl":"http://example.com:8080/jira/secure/useravatar?size=large&ownerId=fred","displayName":"Fred F. User","active":true,"timeZone":"Australia/Sydney","groups":{"size":3,"items":[{"name":"jira-user"},{"name":"jira-admin"},{"name":"important"}]},"expand":"groups"}

  Returns a full representation of a JIRA user in JSON format.
• 401 [expand]

  Returned if the current user is not authenticated.

GET

Returns a full representation of the issue for the given issue key. An issue JSON consists of the issue key, a collection of fields, a link to the workflow transition sub-resource, and (optionally) the HTML rendered values of any fields that support it (e.g. if wiki syntax is enabled for the description or comments).

The fields is the heart of the issue. Each field has the same basic shape:

"field-id" : { "name" : "field-name", "type" : "field-type", "value" : "field-value" }

For system fields, you'll notice that the field-id and the field-name are the same (e.g. "assignee" and "assignee"), while for custom fields they are different ("customfield_10000" and "Participants").

If a field has no value then the "value" key will not be present. For instance, if there is no assignee it would simply appear as:

"assignee" : { "name" : "assignee", "type" : "com.opensymphony.user.User" }

This indicates there is a field named assignee but it has no value.

available response representations:

  Returned if the requested issue is not found, or the user does not have permission to view it.

POST

Add one or more attachments to an issue.

This resource expects a multipart post. The media-type multipart/form-data is defined in RFC 1867. Most client libraries have classes that make dealing with multipart posts simple. For instance, in Java the Apache HTTP Components library provides a MultiPartEntity that makes it simple to submit a multipart POST.

In order to protect against XSRF attacks, because this method accepts multipart/form-data, it has XSRF protection on it. This means you must submit a header of X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck with the request, otherwise it will be blocked.

available response representations:

• 204 [expand]

  Returned if successful.

• 404 [expand]

  Returned if the requested issue is not found, the user does not have permission to view it, or if the attachments exceeds the maximum configured attachment size.
