Create Jira issue via rest api - python

September 9, 2013

Hi,

We're using Jira v5.1.2 and we try to create new Jira issue via rest api.

we run :

cmd = "curl.exe -D- -u user:pass -X POST --data @data_to_send.json -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0' http://outJiraSite/rest/api/2/issue/"

subprocess.check_call(cmd)

 

data_to_send.json:

{
           "fields" : {
               "project": {
                   "key": "CT"
               },
               "summary": "testing",
               "assignee": {
                   "name": 'team'
               },
               "issuetype": {
                   "name": "Task"
               },
               "description": "Testing automatic create Jira Issue  \n",           
               }
         }

and get :
