REST API setup to pull data from JIRA and use for virtualize data

Question

Hi all,

I´m investigating how to setup a proper solution to pull data from JIRA and use it to virtualize data on a big screen at the office.

We are going to use REST API call/request data from JIRA.

I will create a filter which will gather necessary cases  in JIRA.
Let´s say I have created a filter which will list the last 10 created cases.
Then the REST API should make it possible to call/request JIRA and pull data about these 10 cases.

Any specification and guidance about how and what to do would be much appreciated.

Hi @Bill Sheboy

Thanks for sharing. I did already find a lot of documentation.

I was looking for someone who had tried the same and would like to share the experiences.

Anyone?

Hi @Ali Azzam

For Jira Cloud, here is the documentation on the REST API method to run a JQL filter:

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/1000.824.0/#api/2/search-search

And here is some introductory information about the REST API:
