Hello,

I would like to know how how to import jira data to power bi without any plugin or how to  use the JIRA rest API  to connect to Power BI without using any plugin.

Thanks for your help !

You might find this article to be a good place to start - explore-your-jira-data-with-power-bi 

I used that article, among others, when I was playing with this. Basically from with in PBI dashboard you just connect to your cloud URL. With that said I know there are "connector" apps in the Marketplace but no idea of the value they bring over simply direct connection.

BTW... to be clear you don't "import" the data when working w/ PBI, rather you simply want to have read access directly to the data. Importing infers static data. Just a nit but did want to clarify that here for future readers.
