How to identify REST API version of JIRA Server

Question

I need to integrate to a JIRA Server installation through the REST API's. The version of the software is 8.3.4 .

I can find this overview of "version to build number" correlation, but I cannot figure out which version of the REST API that this particular server has.

Where can I find this overview - or query the JIRA software itself to get the information?

Thanks :-)

The docs contain a sentence like "The current API version is 2" tucked away in the "URI Structure" chapter e.g. at https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/8.3.4/.

Hi Andrew

Well, I did some more digging, and I managed to find a WADL describing the REST API for Jira Server 8.3.4 . It is located here:

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/8.3.4/jira-rest-plugin.wadl

At the top I found this path specification

So for now I am going to assume that at least "Version 2" of the REST API is implemented on 8.3.4 . I need to update/create/maintain issues via the API's, so I hope that I am good ... for now.

Thanks!
