API for get transition and history for issues by REST API?

Justin Ellis

A similar question was asked a couple of years ago and there was apparently no way to do it, but is it possible now? If I make a REST API request like this:

{"jql":"reporter = 'Justin Ellis'","fields":["id","key","Average Time in Status"],"expand":["changelog","transitions","history"]}

I get a response with transition information, but with no time in transition or timestamps for transitions, like:

{   "field": "status",
                                "fieldtype": "jira",
                                "from": "3",
                                "fromString": "In Progress",
                                "to": "5",
                                "toString": "Resolved"
                            },
                            {
                                "field": "resolution",
                                "fieldtype": "jira",
                                "from": null,
                                "fromString": null,
                                "to": "1",
                                "toString": "Fixed"
                            }

I'm trying to grab, say all the time a ticket or tickets from a specific month last year spent in "Open" or "In Progress" status.

I suppose that you need expand=changelog. This will show you issue changes.

query: rest/api/2/search?jql=key=MY-1&expand=changelog

in response look at issue->fields[changelog].histories

The date of change is in created field of history item.

If the status was changed the there should be status field listed in items:

Response:

items: [
{
  field: "status",
  fieldtype: "jira",
  from: "1",
  fromString: "Open",
  to: "5",
  toString: "Resolved"
},
{
  field: "resolution",
  fieldtype: "jira",
  from: null,
  fromString: null,
  to: "12",
  toString: "Not a bug"
}
]
