JIRA Cloud API costs

[Muizz Qureshi]

I am wondering if the REST API incurs any additional costs. Is it plan dependent? Are there also any max limits to how many times you can send a request?

Hello @Muizz Qureshi 

Use of the REST API does not incur additional cost.

There are limits to how many can be made in a time period. This is not a simple declarative limit such as "no more than X api calls in Y minutes". You can read about the Rate Limiting here:

Welcome to the community :) 

Jira API is an integral feature that comes along with Jira so there is no cost or anthing extra involved here 

Here is the document you can explore : https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/intro/#version incase you want  to get started with rest api
