JIRA - python get projects and their leads displayName using projects()

Question

I want to reduce the api calls to JIRA. so I want to get the list of projects using projects() method in Jira-python api. But I am only getting the key and the name of the projects. Any way I can get the lead's displayName using this method only?

I don't want to use the project(id) every time I need the displayName.

Following is the python code snippet I have been using, if 'session_logged_in_user' in session:headers = {'cookie':session['session_logged_in_user'],'Content-Type': 'application/json','Accept': 'application/json'}request_status_code, result = request_obj.get_request(url=PROJECTS_URL, headers=headers)
if request_status_code == 444:print(" JIRA is responding slow. ")return redirect(url_for("login",message = " Response from JIRA is slow. Please try again in 2 minutes. "))
if request_status_code == 414:print(" There is a connection Error ")return redirect(url_for("login",message = " Connectivity issue with JIRA. Please try again later. "))
# project_list will hold all the records from JIRA into local variable# Step 3: Loop through the project list, if any new project(s) is added or removedif len(all_projects_in_JIRA) != len(result) or not all_projects_in_JIRA:
for p in result:if p['key'] not in all_projects_in_JIRA:all_projects_in_JIRA[p['key']] = []all_projects_in_JIRA[p['key']].append(p['name'])all_projects_in_JIRA[p['key']].append(p['lead']['displayName'])all_projects_in_JIRA[p['key']].append(p['avatarUrls']['16x16'])all_projects_in_JIRA[p['key']].append('T') #print(" Printing all the keys", all_projects_in_JIRA.keys())print("Projects list is received/updated. ")Hope this helps.

Thanks for your prompt response Tejvir,

Yes, thats the api I can call to get the information. But Im keen to get and process it with Python script. I was able to get projects with jira.projects() and filter through it and get name key and id but not any progress with extracting leaders

Thanks
