Export search to JSON?

Steven Johnson_e13aja

Hello! I just have a quick question that I can't seem to find an answer to. Can I export Jira search results to .json? I know that I can export to .xml, .csv, and .html, but it there a way to export straight to .json?

Edit: I should have mentioned that I only have Project admin rights to the few projects we have locally, so is there a way that doesn’t require JIRA Admin or global admin rights?

Thanks!

Steve

Hi @Steven Johnson

Yes, you can export. Please follow the steps in this doc.

Sorry, I edited my question. So I only have Project admin rights and can’t do anything that requires JIRA admin or global rights. I’m wondering if there is a way that doesn’t require adding plug-ins or JIRA admin rights in any way?

Unfortunately, there is no way. Jira admin has to enable this feature. So, users can export issue search results to json.

Btw, you can get the result (JSON) via REST api if it is appropriate for you.

Oh wow, that is a bit beyond my technical abilities...I just learned how to spell JQL over the past month, if that gives you any indication of my aptitude!

I appreciate the link though, I will pass it on to a colleague that is much smarted than I am, to see if he can use that to get what we need.

Thanks!

Hi all,

Wanted to add an option for anyone who finds this later from Jira Data Center environments.

Out of the box, the earlier answers are still correct:

JSON export needs to be enabled by a Jira admin, or
you have to call the REST API yourself.

If your Jira admin is open to installing an app, there’s another path:

We built Owly JSON Data Exporter for Jira - a read-only JSON export engine for Jira Data Center. It:

Exports projects or whole instance data as structured JSON (issues, comments, history, workflows, even plugin/AO tables).
Works with paged / streamed exports, so large result sets don’t kill the node.
Is designed with migrations, BI/analytics and long-term archiving in mind with a stable JSON schema.

If that sounds useful, you can find it here: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1838088111/owly-json-data-exporter-for-jira?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview

Cheers,
Ignat
