How to get REST API for identifying last updated by on issues?

Question

i need to get REST API for identifying last updated by on issues.

Dario B · Answer

If you use Jira Cloud, please be aware of:

* Jira Cloud REST API limits the number of changelogs returned.

Resolution

In order to get full history of changes for an individual issue use dedicated /rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/changelog endpoint. Note, that the response will be paged and results will be ordered by date, starting from the oldest (ie. ascending).

However, you can find the REST API documentation for Server and Cloud (respectively) by clicking on thee below links:

* https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.6.1/
* https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/#gettingstarted

I hope this helps.

Hello,

You can use the GET /rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}. You need to provide &expand=changelog parameter. You can find more info here:
