how would I retrieve all of the valid entries for the fixVersion field using the python API

Question

I am building scripts that need to filter Jira based on the selections that are used in the FixVersion field.  I would like to create a list of all the valid entries from every porject that we have in Jira, is this possibel?

yes, that was perfect, thank you.  I am not a programmer, and thought that I was looking for Python commands, but, I see now that the python scripts that I am updating are just sending rest, all makes perfect sense now.  Thanks again.

Hi

May I know what do you mean under python API?

Because I am preparing in my class methods for REST API e.g.

def getGroups(maxResults):
 methods = '/rest/api/2/groups/picker'
 parameter = '?maxResults=%s'%maxResults
 url = configs.JIRA_BASEURL + methods + parameter
 r = requests.get(url=url, auth=(configs.JIRA_USERNAME, configs.JIRA_PASSWORD))
 groups = r.json()
 return groups

Docs below:

About fixversions:

For better testing and understanding I use this plugin from Atlassian

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.labs.rest-api-browser/server/overview

it provides all public methods and you can find unpublic.
