Possibility to read Assets import history via API

Question

Hi Community colleagues,

Can the Assets Import History information (such as Start Time, End Time, Status, possible Errors etc. details of import results) be accessed programmatically via a REST API, GraphQL API, or another supported mechanism?

From Assets Object Schema, the data can be read as instructed in View import history in Assets | Assets | Atlassian Support

Hi @Ari Raatikainen , good question. @Narek Pirumyan has it right : there's no public REST or GraphQL API that lists past import runs. The object history endpoint returns attribute changes on a single object, which is a different thing.

What is supported is checking one import at a time. GET /progress/category/imports/{id} (

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/assets/rest/api-group-progress/

) returns the status, result message and per-object-type error counts. For external imports you build yourself, the getExecutionStatus link gives you started, ended and errorMessages. If you need history, I'd poll the progress endpoint after each run and log the results yourself.

JSDCLOUD-16536 asks for alerts on import success or failure and is worth a vote.

Hi Ari — the object history endpoint in the earlier reply is a different feature (attribute changes on a single object), not Schema → Import → View history.

There is currently no supported public REST or GraphQL API to list Import history (start/end, status, errors, per-object-type results across past runs).

If you only need “did the last CSV/JSON/external import succeed, and what were the errors?” — use the documented GET .../progress/category/imports/{importSourceId} (and /executions/status for external imports you own).

Though there is an unsupported internal endpoint. so if you need the full Import history table (all past runs, paging) :

GET https://{site}.atlassian.net/gateway/api/jsm/assets/workspace/{workspaceId}/v1/progress/result/objectschema/{schemaId}?page=1

Response Shape:

{
  "inFlight": [],
  "finished": [ /* past runs: start/end, status, actor, errors, per-object-type stats */ ],
  "numberOfFinishedResult": 0,
  "finishedPageNumber": 1,
  "finishedNumberOfPages": 0,
  "finishedResultsPerPage": 10,
  "finishedStartIndex": 1,
  "finishedToIndex": 0
}

Auth

* Workspace id: GET /rest/servicedeskapi/assets/workspace → values[0].workspaceId
* Then Basic (email:API token) against {site}.atlassian.net/gateway/api/..., or a logged-in browser session on the same path.
* Caller needs an Assets schema role that can see imports (Manager/Developer).

But since this is an internal api, it can change without notice.

Cheers,

Narek

Yes! You can use this endpoint:

https://api.atlassian.com/ex/jira/{cloudId}/jsm/assets/workspace/{workspaceId}/v1/object/{id}/history

as documented here:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/assets/rest/api-group-object/#api-object-id-history-get

However, note that it has to be run per object using its id.
