REST API: Getting list of issues from Greenhopper

Martin Filteau

I'm writing a small Ruby script to generate a PDF report from queries I'm running on JIRA / Greenhopper.

How can I get the list of issues on a particular sprint?

I've downloaded the application.wadl file and I thought I had figured out how to do this...

GET http://jira.octasic.com:8080/rest/greenhopper/1.0/sprints/36

1. {
2. "sprints":
3. [
4. {
5. "id": 9,
6. "name": "Sprint 3",
7. "closed": false
8. }
9. ],
10. "rapidViewId": 36
11. }

After that:

GET http://jira.octasic.com:8080/rest/greenhopper/1.0/sprint/9/issues

1. {
2. "errorMessages":
3. [
4. "The requested Rapid Board cannot be viewed because it either does not exist or you do not have permission to view it."
5. ],
6. "errors":
7. {
8. }
9. }

I do have permission do view this rapidboard. Perhaps id is not the actual sprintId ?

Hi Martin,

You might find the REST API browser (there's one installed on jira.atlassian.com for example) helpful when attempting this type of thing.

The part you're missing in your example is that you need to provide the rapidViewId as a parameter to the /sprint/{sprintId}/issues call. This URL will retrieve the issues in the most recent Scrum sprint by the GreenHopper team:

https://jira.atlassian.com/rest/greenhopper/1.0/sprint/53/issues?rapidViewId=96&expandIssues=false

You also might find it useful to use the GreenHopper source code while developing integrations. All commercial licensees (i.e. any license other than $10 starter licenses or free licenses) can access the source via their login to https://my.atlassian.com

Thanks,
Shaun
