REST API to get JIRA issue created from Bitbucket pull-request comment?

Barry Robertson

What I need to do is retrieve the JIRA issue created via the "Create issue" option in a pull request's comment  

This seems to be related to Bitbucket / JIRA integration.

I saw an almost similar post but it wasn't quite the same:  (it is retrieving the issues for which commits were made).  It seems to use this API.

I would expect to need to pass the comment ID to an API and get it somehow but can't find the option.  An option to create the issue is here with a POST.  I expected a related GET.

Thank you.  Hopefully you can point me to what I missed.

Hi @Barry Robertson 

You should be able to request the Pull Request comment using the "/comments" resource by using the comment ID .e.g:

/rest/api/1.0/projects/{projectKey}/repos/{repositorySlug}/pull-requests/{pullRequestId}/comments/{commentId}

The response will contain the "properties" map with the "issues" key, e.g.:

{
   "properties": {
      "repositoryId": 1234,
      "issues": ["JIRAKEY-123"]
   }
   // The rest of the response
}

The "issues" field might be undefined if there are no Jira issues created for the comment:

{
  "properties": {
      "repositoryId": 1234,
  }

  // The rest of the response
}

Link to docs for "comments" resource: https://docs.atlassian.com/bitbucket-server/rest/7.14.0/bitbucket-rest.html#idp331

Please be aware that the documentation page doesn't reference the "issues" field.
