Is there a way (whether REST, JSON, or neither) to programmatically access Agile boards?

Jonathan Haywar

I am trying to work on a client that would talk to a JIRA instance and take my own spin off a Kamban (or Scrum) agile board, in which cards are moved between different lanes during the project's duration.

Is there something that can either:

1: Consume the contents of an Agile board, or

2: Allow changes such as moving a card between swimlanes?

Thanks,

Paul Greig

Hi Jonathan,

You can query Agile boards via REST, here are some example queries:

View a Sprint:

curl -u <user>:<pass> -X GET  "https://<instance>/rest/greenhopper/1.0/rapid/charts/sprintreport?rapidViewId=<id>&sprintId=<id>"

View a Rapidboard ID:

curl -D- -u <user>:<pass> -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://<instance>/rest/greenhopper/1.0/sprintquery/<id>

View all Boards:

curl -D- -u <user>:<pass> -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://<instance>/rest/greenhopper/1.0/rapidview

Updating an issue status through REST API will update an issue on a board. Here is the REST documentation: https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/latest/#id164500
