REST Endpoints and Marketplace Plugins

[#1]

Not much to discuss;  As a bi-product of the work I do I've created (and occasionally update/refresh) two reports the community has seemed to appreciate in the past..  Feel free to check out the latest:

Marketplace Plugins:  An index of plugins by category and usecase. See at a glance which ones are most often installed, have the higher ratings, etc.

REST Endpoints: A quick reference of GET endpoints you can use to access your Atlassian data for purposes of reporting, extracting, or integrating.

If you'd like help with using the REST API or reporting, let me know.

Just a small sidenote. It is always better to use "latest" for REST API protocol version. It will work without changes in current, future and past versions of Jira. 


Instead of

rest/api/3/status/idOrName 

better

rest/api/latest/status/idOrName

@David Nickell , this ROCKS!! Great job, and thank you for sharing. I've been thinking about developing some helpful tools like this (although our apps would fit in one screen!), I'll take a look at PowerBI.

Hello, 

I'm not an experienced admin using REST API.

I have a USE CASE  to get Jira cloud data from Power BI desktop.

Is it possible ussing REST API?

Do you have a simple example I can implement to gest this connectivity?

Thanks so much in advance.

@Pablo first you generate a token in your profile (or generate a token for a service account). Then do a generic REST API call

https://<your instance>.atlassian.net/rest/api/latest/issue/IT-2332

Provide headers

Authentication: Bearer <your token>
Content-Type: application/json

If your request returns 400 then you can parse json body.

In fact you can check what GET returns by simply copypasting the REST API URL to your browser. It will use cookies for authentication and return exactly the same body as it will do in PowerBI.
