How to create API that send data from Jira to Confluence

Mkurama

Hi,

I have a multiple issues and I want to display it in Confluence. Can I make my Jira to make API with specific issues I want it that display in Confluence (for example: display all epics, display all issues in epic, display all subtasks for specific issue ...etc).

Thank you

@Mkurama you can definitely write you own API to achieve the desired outcome. However, there are following considerations -

• You can either do this via a standalone application which retrieves relevant information from Jira and pushes that to Confluence. 
• or You can write a Jira app that works right within Jira. 

Both options will have different approaches. Additionally, you will also need to think further & structure your requirements so that you can decide whether your app needs some kind of inputs to retrieve the necessary information from Jira & push it in the desired layout to Confluence.

All in all that is quite a time consuming undertaking. And unless you intend to maintain that app for the long term, it won't be easy.

However, you can definitely try out some of the apps available on the Atlassian marketplace that can solve for your use case. 

There are 2 apps that can do this (2 based on my knowledge, there could be more that I am not aware of) - Automated release notes & Elements publish to Confluence

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about ARN.

Best,
