Import REST API results directly into Excel spreadsheet

Apryl Harris

Hello,
I want to import Jira cloud REST API results directly into Excel. No JSON file or other tool in the middle (if possible); but from results to Excel using Excel's Data → From Web feature. Our Jira instance is not public; and one must be logged into our network to access our Jira instance (not sure if this matters). 

When I initially tried it, my results truncated. I got only 29 records when I should get about 400 records.

So, how do I do export the REST API results directly into Excel? I know some community genius has figured this out. I am NOT a developer just trying to get data easily with minimal effort into Excel.

Can someone test that has a similar instance set up and see what happens for you? What steps did you take to get all the records to import into Excel in a list format?

Thanks for your help community!

The URL would be similar to: https://yourjirainstancename.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/field

Ok, if you are getting some results that's great, so now you just need to figure out why the results are truncated. Maybe the endpoint is limiting the number of results?

Here is example of bulk fetch rest endpoint, which result in 100 issues: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issues/#api-rest-api-3-issue-bulkfetch-post

I don't see any info about limitation in mentioned field endpoint documentation: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-fields/#api-rest-api-3-field-get
