import issue history using JIRA Rest API

[Vineet Kumar]

Is there any way to import issue history in JIRA using using Rest API?Thanks.

No, there is no REST API for importing historical information - this can only be achieved when importing a project via the project import tool, but this will also overwrite any existing data. Why do you need this in the first place?

Purpose: I want to export Phabricator tickets into JIRA along with history. Using Jira csv importer plugin, I am able to import all phabricator fields except history. Please suggest me.

You can use the JSON importer to import history - see documentation and examples here.

The JSON importer can be accessed from the REST API here: rest/jira-importers-plugin/1.0/importer/json
