Archived project information via API ?

[Renni Verho]

Hi, 

we have Jira instance where set of projects are archived. 

Now plan is to merge 2 instances to one and would like to prepare for possible conflicts (eg. import project using same keys as archived project)

Tried to list all projects from target instance, but found out that archived are not in json provided thru rest api :  /rest/api/latest/project. 

Is there way to list archived projects (and other information from archived projects) or is unarchive and reindexing only way to start safe merge ?

Hi,

You can use this API to get all project even archived project

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/8.18.2/#project-getAllProjects

You just need to pass a parameter

includeArchived boolean  whether to include archived projects in response, default: false
