I need to retrieve Lead Time from Jira Issues, to make my own personalized dashboard.

[Rahul Bella]

Does Jira has any API which can be used to capture the Creation Issue date and Closed date.

Hi @Rahul Bella ,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I am not sure if this question is for Jira Server or Cloud since it is has not been specified. However, this can be achieved by sending a GET request to the 'issue' endpoint specifying to only return the created and resolutiondate fields, and the below example should work fine in for both:

• http(s)://<JIRA-URL>/rest/api/latest/issue/<ISSUE-KEY-OR-ID>?fields=created,resolutiondate

For more details please review the JIRA REST API documentation:

• Cloud REST API docs:
  • Jira Core
  • Jira Software
  • Jira Service Desk
• Server REST API docs:
  • Jira Core
  • Jira Software
  • Jira Service Desk

Cheers,
Dario
