Getting Jira Project Lead emailAddress using JIRA API (/api/2/project/{projectKey})

Question

Hey, looking for most efficient way to get project info together with project lead email address in one call. By default lead emailAddress is not present on response of /api/2/project/{projectKey}.

The goal is to get a list of projects info that also includes project lead emailAddress.

Ideally something like /api/2/project/projectKey1,projectKey2. (but there is not such way afaik)

any ideas? Thanks.

Maybe it is related to Jira settings?

In general I think showing email over API might be a problem and that is why Atlassian decided to hide this information where it can be hidden especially now on Cloud API that is public.

Thanks for reply, yes i have tried expand parameters, as i mentioned emailAddress is not there.

"lead": {
"self": "url",
"key": "username",
"name": "username",
"avatarUrls": {
"48x48": "url",
"24x24": "url",
"16x16": "url",
"32x32": "url"
  },
"displayName": "User Name",
"active": true
}
