API Remote Issue Linking - How to get AppId

[Martin Buchleitner]

I already found one topic on this unanswered from 2007.

https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/198871/how-to-programately-obtain-the-appid-for-creating-remote-issue-links-in-jira

How to get the appId parameter by code/api for remote linking 2 jiras?

According to the JIRADEV documentaion an AppID parameter is requried. I already get this parameter out of reading a manually created link.

This appId seems to be a GUID, but how to get its value by code so you do not have to hardcode it?

Just answered on the original question, copying here..

he documentation could probably do with a little love here..

Remote links prefer to use the application-link id to identify the link, so for instance if you were linking to issue TST-1 on your JIRA server it makes up the global id as appId=<application link id>&issueId=<TST-1 id>.

To find the application id you can query the application link REST service, so rest/applinks/1.0/applicationlink gives you JSON with all applinks - the JSON will look something like:

<applicationLinks>

<link rel="self" href="https://jdog.atlassian.net/rest/applinks/1.0/applicationlink/4bfd3699-074f-3896-8f44-fedc79d0ee71"/>

<id>4bfd3699-074f-3896-8f44-fedc79d0ee71</id>

<typeId>jira</typeId>

<name>SDOG</name>

<displayUrl>https://sdog.jira.com</displayUrl>

The id tag is what you need...

Thanks, but this API is undocumented at https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/latest/

So how can a user find this solution?

PS: How to do a websudo via rest?

That's current broken preventing people from properly creating remote issue links using the API, See https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-38551-- this bug is currently preventing us from implementing remote-issue-links in python-jira.

This isn't solved. The Rest call recommended to get a full list of application links e.g. https://<JIRA_SERVER>/rest/applinks/1.0/applicationlink

Returns a 401 page indicating :

<status>
  <status-code>401</status-code>
  <message>This resource requires WebSudo.</message>
</status>

So how does one get past this hurdle ?

[Florian Bauer]

i also want to obtain the appId - but cannot find any service endpoint.. any news here? or is there another best practise on how to link a confluence page to a jira issue via rest api?
