Consuming JIRA API with client

Question

Hello,

what are options to export / consume JIRA thorough API so that I collect data in another client application. I want to create app that will analyze some data from JIRA such as number of developers, tickets per developers, ratio of solved vs. reopened etc. and then create some chart representation.

Thank you.

Do you have advice on how to calculate these metrics?

User Stories Velocity (Projects/Teams)
Production Defects (Projects)
Pre-Production defects
Defects by Severity
Security based metric
Business Value per team per Sprint (User Story points delivered)

Nenad, The Jira API is defined here.

The work you define will require a significant amount of work.

Do you have Confluence available as well as Jira. If so, confluence includes several macros which, when used together, can display some of the statistics you need.

Another option, if you have the option of trading money for labor is to license one of the reporting add-ons available for Jira. A couple of the most well-known are eazyBI Reports for Jira and Dataplane. You can find these and others in the Atlassian Marketplace.

Another option is to use the Jira Issue Search, and export the contents to CSV or XML. The resulting file can be read into your analysis.
