In order to sync worklogs to another system, I'm wanting to get worklogs out of Jira/Tempo Timesheets. In order to allow insert/updates, I need a unique ID for the worklog. I need to associate these worklogs with another system, and the Tempo Account Key is my identifier there. I've tried a few ways, but can't quite get the data. Would love some help! * If I export worklogs as a csv while in Tempo Reports, I get all worklog info, the account key, but no worklog unique identifier. * If I use the Tempo REST API, the worklog data includes the unique id, but doesn't include the Account Key. I can use the worklogs/account endpoint, but I'd have to hit that call for every account every time.

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

How to extract worklogs including both a unique ID and the Tempo Account?

Hi @Jon Karnofsky ,

When integrating with an external system, we recommend using the Tempo Servlet API. This API returns all worklogs within a selected period and additional parameters can be added.
Please take a look at https://tempo-io.github.io/tempo-mtm-docs/ for more information.

In your case, to include the Tempo account id, you will need to add the "addBillingInfo=true" parameter to the URL.

Is this still working for you? It seems they have deprecated servlet api

Jon Karnofsky

Yes, I had to migrate to the /worklog endpoint in the Tempo API. I am able to get the Account value in the response, they are in the attributes section of each item in the response. The account shows up under a key named "_Account_" (at least for us).

It may show up automatically for us because the account's a required field for us. I "think" in the Tempo settings, the Custom Fields is where you can other fields to that, in case it's not required for you.
