where to start for integrating jira with some product ?

[Santosh Penjarla]

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/7.6.1/

I found above documentation for api - 7.6.1 version and in that documentation many packages are present so I didnt understand where to start in order to create issues in the project , create issues with custom fields ... etc

Previously I have used JiraRestClient to connect and create issues .

looking forward for help 

with regards

Are you trying to create issues from outside Jira (i.e. another system using REST, like JRJC) or are you doing it internally, in an add-on (App) you are writing?

from outside JIRA using REST

public class MyJiraClient {
    protected String userName;
    protected String password;
    protected String url;
    protected JiraRestClient jiraRestClient;
    public MyJiraClient(String user,String pass,String url){
        this.userName = user;
        this.password = pass;
        this.url = url;
        this.jiraRestClient = getJiraRestClient();
    }
    public URI getURI(){
        return URI.create(this.url);
    }
    public JiraRestClient getJiraRestClient(){
        JiraRestClient jiraRestClient;
        jiraRestClient = null;
        try{
            jiraRestClient =  new AsynchronousJiraRestClientFactory().createWithBasicHttpAuthentication(getURI(),this.userName,this.password);
        }
        catch(Exception e){
            System.out.println(e);
        }
        return  jiraRestClient;
    }
    public String createIssue(String projectKey, String issueSummary) {
        IssueRestClient issueClient = this.jiraRestClient.getIssueClient();
        BasicProject basicProj = new BasicProject(this.getURI(),projectKey,issueSummary);
      
        BasicIssueType issueType = new BasicIssueType(this.getURI(),10002L,"Task",false);
        IssueInput newIssue = new IssueInputBuilder(basicProj,issueType,issueSummary).build();
        try{
            pIssue=  issueClient.createIssue(newIssue);
        }
        catch(Exception e){}
        return pIssue.claim().getKey();
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) throws URISyntaxException {
            String userName = "username";
            String password = "password";
            String url = "https://myDomain.atlassian.net/";
            MyJiraClient jiraClient = new MyJiraClient(userName, password, url);
            String issueKey = jiraClient.createIssue("ABC",  "abc");

    }


} 

 above code successfully creates issues for me 

now I want to use JIRA REST api 7.6 version and need help to start with it .

for example in the above code I have used 

createWithBasicHttpAuthentication method

for connecting similar to that how can I connect in using this api 7.6

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

can you provide me with some guidance regarding this 

Thanks in advance

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Um, you have working code, so I'm not sure what you're looking for now?

[Santosh Penjarla]

The code which I shared is working but the thing is it is using jrjc-2.0.0-m2 

now I want to use jira REST - 7.6

JiraRestClient is present in jrjc - 2.0.0-m2 
but it is not there in jira Rest - 7.6

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Ok, so see https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.6.1/ - that will show you the authentication and possible calls you can make.

Will try and update here

Thank you
