Pulling out 'Comment' from api Get

unknown

Hi there,

I am pulling comments for a Jira issue via the rest API

rest/api/2/issue/{IssueKey}/comment

In the JSON there is a big slab of text with the who, the issue key, date etc etc.

Is there something I can add to the method to just pull out the actual comment that was entered into Jira.  I would like to update a journal in another system with the comment only and not have all the other surrounding data that comes out with it.

 

Thanks

Hello Steven,

When you access the the comments via an API call, you will have all contents of the comments returned to you. From here you will need to parse out the Comments into multiple variables to be called upon later.

To better help with getting an answer that is applicable to what you’re doing, can we know which language (javascript, python, powershell) you are attempting to use to communicate with the API? This will help us ensure we provide an answer that is most accurate to your needs.

Once we have a response we can work on figuring out a solution with you.

Regards,
