How to connect to a Jira Cloud database?

[Deepika.Kanaparthi]

Hello there, Team.

 We need to do reporting on Zephyr scale testcases on Confluence pages, such as data filtering.

We require access to Jira's cloud database. How can I gain access to Jira's cloud database?

Thank you.

Hi @Deepika.Kanaparthi , 

with Jira Cloud versions, you do not have access to the database. This was only possible with the on-premise version (Server or Data Center).

The proper way to do what you're asking is actually to use Jira APIs : https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issues/#api-group-issues

This way you can get all the content you need from Jira and process it safely.

Let me know if this helps,

You can try the database exporter, which is a free app that lets you create a replica of the Jira DB and keep it up to date:
