I want to access an Issue data via a java program using REST API of JIRA

Question

Nic Brough -Adaptavist- · Answer

That's not really a JIRA question - you're getting the issue data from the API call - what you do with it is up to your code.

On your difficulties

* What is your dev environment doing differently to the calls that have worked and returned your issue data
* I'd look for a JSON parsing library for java, and a database library for talking to your chosen data store
* You mention (lots of fields) - have a look at https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-apis/jira-rest-apis/jira-rest-api-tutorials/jira-rest-api-example-query-issues to see how to reduce the results to just the fields you want

Say, I have an issue "XYZ1" , the API call gives me a JSON Response(lots of unnecessary fields), which I want to store a few fields like Status,Assignee,Reporter,etc. in my database (say Oracle/MongoDB).

I am facing difficulty in :

* getting JSON from the api call in the development environment(using eclipse)
* Parsing the response, to store objects of my interest.

Can you guide me how to go about this?

That can be done - REST can be used by any language that supports doing the calls.  Could you explain what you are asking?
