Data dump of all history

[Ben Krichko]

Is there a way a to pull a full export or data dump of all the History under a JPD Idea? This would make finding timestamp changes MUCH more efficient. Maybe an export button?

Hi,

Give a try to the API, i know it for Jira Software but i think it should be possible to get the ideas and the history using the param"?expand=changelog"

Thanks @Mohamed Benziane !

I'm fairly new to API calls in Atlassian. I have created a separate API token and am using Postman to make the calls, but am getting stuck on a 401 error. Is this something we can pair on and you guide me?

@Ben Krichko 

Did you use your mail address in the username field on postman ?

[Ben Krichko]

@Mohamed Benziane 

There are several auth options within Postman. I started with Basic Auth. I have put my email address in the Username field, but I think my problem is the password field. Would that be the full API token generated from Atlassian or something else? 

[Mohamed Benziane]

Yes you nned to pu the full API token in the password field

@Mohamed Benziane  You are awesome!! I'm now pulling a 200 response code. Last piece, For  the param"?expand=changelog", how should that be entered?

@Ben Krichko 

Just put the param at the end of the URL like this

myAtlassianSite/rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey}?expand=changelog

You can try the API as @Mohamed Benziane suggested or 3rd party apps.
