For Jira Cloud's Work Item's Activity section, which REST API call retrieves the History data?

In Jira Cloud, I navigate to a Work Item and page to the "Activity" section.  Then I click on the "History" tab.  It's this data I need to retrieve via REST API call.

Thx!

Hi David, 

I hope this post finds you well and thanks for using the Community!  

I believe you are looking for the GET change log endpoint .  This will return a paginated list of all changelogs for an issue sorted by date starting with the oldest.

Depending on what you need you might also be able to leverage the normal GET issue endpoint with the expand=changelog parameter .  This will fetch the issue details along with the changelog starting with the most recent events. 

Is that what you were looking for?  If not I am happy to discuss further. 

Best, 

Andy
