Is there a way to get real user id for worklogs created in Tempo with Jira API?

Niko Draganić

I am using Jira API to retrieve project's issues and users information. I can use the same API to get the worklogs, but since time tracking is done through Tempo, all my worklogs have the same user - Tempo Timesheets. However, the worklogs clearly display the user that tracked the time in the Jira GUI, so I presume there must be a way to get this information without having to use Tempo API.

Is there a way to get this information via Jira API?

 

Thanks,

Niko

Hi @Niko Draganić ,

As JIRA API's can not retrieve data from the Tempo database, you will need to use the Tempo REST API's to get information about the actual worklog owner. 

When logging time in Tempo, the information is synced to the JIRA database but the worklog owner and description are anonymized. These are the worklogs which show "Tempo Timesheets" as owner (https://tempo-io.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KB/pages/488931333/Why+do+the+worklogs+appear+with+the+author+Tempo+Timesheets+instead+of+the+user+s+name)

Information about Tempo Cloud REST API's can be found on https://apidocs.tempo.io/.
