Are there any simple examples to get started with JIRA Client Java Rest API?

Alex Paransky

I looked, but could not find any simple examples of how to get started with Atlassian's JIRA Rest Java Client API.  

 

Are there any recent examples available?

Here is an example that I wrote up this weekend.  Hopefully, it helps someone to get started quickly.

 

package com.opentable.jira.estimator;

import com.atlassian.jira.rest.client.api.JiraRestClient;
import com.atlassian.jira.rest.client.api.JiraRestClientFactory;
import com.atlassian.jira.rest.client.api.SearchRestClient;
import com.atlassian.jira.rest.client.api.domain.Filter;
import com.atlassian.jira.rest.client.api.domain.SearchResult;
import com.atlassian.jira.rest.client.internal.async.AsynchronousJiraRestClientFactory;
import com.atlassian.jira.rest.client.api.domain.Issue;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

import java.net.URI;

/**
 * Entry-point invoked when the jar is executed.
 */
public final class TestJiraAPI  {
private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(TestJiraAPI.class);

    private TestJiraAPI() {}

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
final JiraRestClientFactory
            factory =
new AsynchronousJiraRestClientFactory();

        final JiraRestClient
            jiraRestClient =
                factory
                    .createWithBasicHttpAuthentication(
new URI(Constants.JIRA_URL),
                        Constants.USERNAME,
                        Constants.TOKEN
                    );

        try (jiraRestClient) {

final SearchRestClient
                searchRestClient =
                    jiraRestClient.getSearchClient();

            final Filter
                filter =
                    searchRestClient.getFilter(50447).claim();

            final SearchResult
                searchResult =
                    searchRestClient.searchJql(filter.getJql()).claim();

            //Cycle through search result to print out the list of issues that match the filter
        }
    }
}
