Story Points using JIRA Agile REST API

[Carlos Gavidia]

Is there a way to get Story Points from an Issue using the JIRA Agile REST API? I don't see anything in the documentation.

I was trying to access the information usin:

rest/agile/1.0/issue/<ID>

But on the returned JSON there's no field that looks like Story Points. The only field that stores a similar value is "customfield_12310293" but the name is not that descriptive.

Hi Carlos!

Actually, in order to obtain the "Story Points" for a given issue, I'd recommend using JIRA's default REST API rather than Agile's. However, the field will not appear with its name, but as "customfield_<id>".

You can get the value for "<id>" by going, in JIRA, to Administration > Issues > Custom Fields and hovering over the Edit button for the "Story Points" custom field (under the "cog" icon at the right). A numeric ID will be displayed at the end of the URL for that link.

Then, just run a GET request using the below URL and search for the value of "Story Points".

http://localhost:8080/jira/rest/api/latest/issue/TEST-2

 Replace localhost:8080/jira with the actual address for your JIRA instance and TEST-2 with the actual key for the issue you're trying to retrieve the field value from.

Hi Jao,

And if I want to make a generic add-on. How do I get the value of the <id> programatically ?

Cheers,

Christophe

I might be late, but I guess that you want to use the specified REST endpoint for it, e.g. https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/#api-api-2-field-get
