How to pull historically evolving data through the REST API.

[Amandeep Singh]

Hi

I want to use the JIRA REST API to pull out historic JIRA data and insert into a database. For example - I would want to have records on how different tickets have evolved (status,team assignment,priorities etc) and then insert them into DB. 

Your suggestions will be really helpful.

Regards

Hello,

You would need to use this rest api call:

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.12.0/?_ga=2.9706610.675557620.1538152808-65270402.1526147845#api/2/issue-getIssue

You should add the changelog option.

Thanks Alexey for your quick response. But I am not able to understand what this links really means in terms of the REST API call.
