Where can I find REST API documentation for Greenhopper 6.7.14 ?

Andrew Blackman September 12, 2019

We are currently using JIRA 6.4.13 and JIRA Agile 6.7.14

I've already investigated this answer:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Greenhopper-JIRA-Agile-REST-API-documentation/qaq-p/186945

... and its not helpful - I find my way to this listing: https://docs.atlassian.com/jira-software/REST/ but 6.7.14 is not there.

When I look at 6.7.12 - it is all phrased as /agile/ not /greenhopper/ and the API appears to be different.

My primary goal is to use the API to add issues to an epic - and based on this useful post : https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/set-the-epic-link-via-rest-call-779158620.html, I know I can use /rest/greenhopper/1.0/epics/{epicid}/add , but I'd like to get hold of the full /greenhopper/ documentation to look at expected response messages etc.

Navigating "up" I did find some hope here: https://docs.atlassian.com/ where there is a "greenhopper" expanding section that reveals 6.7.14 - but then links to a dead page : https://docs.atlassian.com/jira-software/6.7.14

 

PLEASE can someone, anyone, point me to the greenhopper API v6.7.14 docs ??

There are no docs for any recent "greenhopper" versions because there is no "greenhopper".  The name is a hangover from years ago that still has not been refactored out.  When Atlassian acquired it, they rebranded it "Agile", and then when Jira 7.0 re-architected from a plugin to an application, they rebranded it again as "Software".

The docs for the "Agile" API are the docs for "greenhopper".

We are using atlassian server, the api calls behind the JIRA boards use greenhopper - e.g. /rest/greenhopper/1.0/rapid/charts/sprintreport?rapidViewId=201&sprintId={sprintId}

This api returns some very useful information such as a list of 'completedIssues'. This is structured in a very different way to the information provided by the Jira Agile Server api. The call to /rest/agile/1.0/board/{boardId}/sprint/{sprintId}/issue does not categorise the sprint issues in such a nice way. There are pretty good docs for the "Agile" api but it isn't obvious how to get some of the information. Is there an easy way to get this information?

I'm afraid not.  The greenhopper calls are deprecated and you should be using the Agile ones.  The greenhopper calls you're finding in the code will eventually go away, as the boards and other areas are refactored to use the more modern API.
