Using c# to access jira cloud issues

[Bert Lutz]

I am new to JIRA and am trying to access my JIRA cloud issues from c#.  Does anyone have a working example of a c# routine to do this?

Here is a code snippet from some code that I have limping along after installing Atlassian.JIra.dll (v4.0.30319)

var jiraConnection = Atlassian.Jira.Jira.CreateRestClient("http://xxxxx.atlassian.net", "userid", "pwd");
var x = jiraConnection.GetIssue("MT5-13105"); // throws an error;  Invalid Operation: Sequence contains no elements.
var y = jiraConnection.GetIssuePriorities();  // returns expected values
var f = jiraConnection.GetIssueResolutions();  // returns expected values
var d = jiraConnection.GetIssuesFromJql("statusCategory != Done ORDER BY priority DESC");  // returns no values; over 100 expected; this jql was copied from a filter in the UI.
var g = jiraConnection.GetIssueStatuses(); // returns no values; 6 expected

It appears that I am able to connect to my JIRA instance.  Some methods return values others do not.  I'm wondering if there is a security setting that I am not aware of (these are admin credentials).

My goal is to get a list of open issues with a few issue attributes.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks, Nick.

Using RestSharp I was just now able to get a call to work.  I'm posting just a little of the code in case it might help someone else.  One other thing to be aware of:  while user name and email seem to work interchangeably in JIRA cloud, only the user name works in the rest api.  It took me a while to figure that out.

using RestSharp;
using RestSharp.Authenticators;

var client = new RestClient();
client.BaseUrl = new Uri("https://knnc.atlassian.net");
client.Authenticator = new HttpBasicAuthenticator("UserNameNOTemail", "pwd");

var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
request.Resource = "rest/api/2/issue/MRR-99028";
request.AddHeader("Accept", "application/json");
request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");

request.RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json;

IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);

Thanks Bert.  I'm trying to cut my teeth on getting data out of JIRA, and have just found RestSharp.  I suppose you would replace the issue number with some JQL to get the data?  How would you put the data in a string or a file or anything you offer to help me move along further is HUGELY appreciated.

As you've not had a decent answer to this yet, I think you should get at least something to work with.

My C is ancient and I've barely looked at C# since I essentially stopped using Windows in the last millennium.  So, I'm sorry I can't help you with that bit at all.

I also tend not to use the REST client or dll stuff, because I don't need to.  So I can't help you there either.

But, if you can write some C# that can issue a REST call directly to JIRA and read a response, then https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-apis/jira-rest-apis/jira-rest-api-tutorials/jira-rest-api-example-query-issues can show you both how to construct the content of the call, and what the response will be.  For your search, you probably need to hit https:/xxxxx.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/search?jql=status=open
