Can we develop add-ons for Jira using python?

[Gonchik Tsymzhitov]

Hi!

Which functionality do you want to make? 

add-on  means in Jira, so JVM based things can be like java, scala, groovy, jruby, jython etc.

But the main idea of that tools , it's cover some functionality, hence please. start from functionality and do external app which will communicate via REST Api.

@Gonchik Tsymzhitov  Thanks for the response.

I want create an add-on for dashboard reports so can i do that using Python instead of Java.

[Gonchik Tsymzhitov]

If dashboards on Jira web site, - nope.

AS workaround you can do in Grafana + some DB (influxdb, elastic, prometheus) etc

[Chethan GR]

Okey so can i get the data from jira using python and create the dashboard on the tools that you have mentioned.

[Gonchik Tsymzhitov]

Of course, 

For fetching -  https://pypi.org/project/atlassian-python-api/#description

for building elastic + grafana or kibana

but you should to know what kind of dashboard would you like to make? 

maybe someone already made in Jira, already
