Get Test Case Steps from Issue using REST API

[caspar]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to access the Test Case Steps from an issue in my Jira project using the REST API endpoint:

/rest/api/2/issue/{issue_key}

While I'm able to retrieve the general issue details such as description, labels, and components, the Test Case Steps field is not included in the response. I've verified that the field is populated in the Jira UI.

This has already been asked in: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Get-the-fields-in-the-Steps-belong-a-Test-Case-by-REST-API/qaq-p/1113641 but no solution have been offered.

Please help me with this.

Hello @caspar 

You're seem to be confusing Jira with the tool that has been installed that is providing the test management capabilities.

If you're using something like XRay, you have to use its REST API to access the test steps that are within the test case.

Actually the OP is correct, with XRay Server (now DataCenter) there is a separate REST API for accessing test steps. For XRay Cloud they don't have a separate REST API for accessing test steps. So the question is valid, is there a way to get the test steps via. the Jira REST API, perhaps as sub-tasks of the test case issue?
