How to integrate JIRA into my application for creating bug cards?

Question

Hi Everyone,

I am working in an application where i want to integrate JIRA services for my user, Where i want user to connect with there Jira account after successful authentication and create board, write stories, issue  ,bugs etc.

Currently, I am thinking of setting API's to my application so that user can do this all, But failed to get proper guidelines to do so.

please if anyone can help me out?

Thanks & Regards

Hi @Himanshu Sharma ,

Have a look at the API development documentation at https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/intro/#about

Hi @Kris Dewachter ,

Yes, you got it right. I do want to have some guidelines on the single API you mentioned and how I can use that API to call from my application. I am new to this type of integration, so it would be a great help if you could provide me with some suitable documents or video links for doing so.

Best regards,

Himanshu

Hi @Himanshu Sharma ,

If I understand correctly, the users will not create stories or bug tickets in Jira itself, but in your application that you are creating. And the application will then create the issue in Jira via the Atlassian API.

If so, there is no need for the user to login into Jira. Your application will communicate via Jira via 1 single API user. And in this API call, you will also set the correct "Reporter" of the ticket.

Best regards,
