get Parent issue via rest or SOAP API clients

[Vasyl Khrystiuk]

Is there way to check - if an issue is a subtask, and if it is - get link(key, id) to parent issue?

In REST API client(jira-rest-java-client-0.6-m2.jar) and in SOAP API client(jira-soap-5.0.0.jar) i didn't find such methods.
Maybe i missed something? How to operate this?

Issue iss2 = getRestClient().getIssueClient().getIssue(task.getKey(), new NullProgressMonitor());
        Field ob  = iss2.getField("parent");
        if (ob!=null){
        	JSONObject jsonParent = (JSONObject)ob.getValue();
        	BasicIssue bi = null;
        	try {
        		bi = new BasicIssueJsonParser().parse(jsonParent);
        	} catch (JSONException e1) {
        		e1.printStackTrace();
        	}
        	System.out.println("parrent: Parced key: "+bi.getKey());
        }else{
        	System.out.println("parrent: no parent found");
        }

I'm not sure what you're using to retrieve data, but if I use a CURL request via PowerShell:

$Array = .\curl.exe https://host.jira.com/rest/api/latest/issue/[Issuekey]

Convert the response from JSON

then examine $Array.fields.issuetype.subtask and look for a TRUE value...and it's a subtask.

$Array.fields.parent.key holds the parent issue.
