Is Jira REST API version 3 stable?

Question

I don't get any data when trying to get users (GET /rest/api/2/user) from version 2 but can get data if I try version 3 endpoint.

The documentation says version 3 is in beta and may be changed. Is it still in beta? Do you recommend to use it over version 2?

If not, what can be the reason for not getting data for the Users report in version 2?

Thanks!

We are using version 3 and although it is marked as beta (and subject to change), we have not had any major changes impact our usage of it so far.

To be honest, they work pretty much identically with that endpoint:

* /rest/api/2/user?accountId=x
* /rest/api/3/user?accountId=x

We just have to remember to use account id across the board now.

How does your input/output differ between them?

Hi Tsila,

Yes, JIRA API version 3 is stable. We are using in our production and I haven't found any issue so far.
