Get id of the active sprint

[andrea.giordano]

Hi all,
I'm implementing an application that, using the JIRA REST API, automatically creates issues: I would also like to assign them to the current active sprint. To do so, I've retrieved the customfield_XXXX code of the "Sprint" field and implemented the following alike body request:

/rest/api/3/issue

{
    "fields": {
       "project":
       {
          "key": "SP"
       },
       "summary": "Sprint issue test",
       "description": "REST APIs are great.",
       "issuetype": {
          "name": "Bug"
       },
       "customfield_XXXX": activeSprintID
	}
}

Still, I need an automatic way to retrieve the ID of the current active sprint and I'm trying to use this REST API to get it:

/rest/agile/1.0/board/{boardId}/sprint?state=active&maxResults=1

which apparently does not work and links me to a dead link.

How can I retrieve the ID of the current active sprint to embed it in the previous body request?

Thanks all,
Andrea

Hi @andrea.giordano  -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

If you are not using parallel sprints, you may get the current active sprint as you would with a JQL query: sprint IN openSprints() AND sprint NOT IN futureSprints() AND sprint NOT IN closedSprints()

Pleases substitute in your project key.

/rest/greenhopper/latest/integration/teamcalendars/sprint/list?jql=project=myProjectKey%20AND%20sprint%20IN%20openSprints()%20AND%20sprint%20NOT%20IN%20futureSprints()%20AND%20sprint%20NOT%20IN%20closedSprints()

Best regards,

Bill

~~~

sprint IN openSprints() AND sprint NOT IN futureSprints() AND sprint NOT IN closedSprints()

~~~

doesn't work for items that's been part of more than one sprint and is still active :/

Try using this instead

~~~

sprint IN openSprints() AND sprint NOT IN futureSprints() AND (sprint NOT IN closedSprints() OR (sprint IN openSprints() AND sprint NOT IN futureSprints()))

~~~

And of course, converting it to REST.

Hi @andrea.giordano ,

I found a similar ticket https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/How-to-access-Sprint-details-using-Api/qaq-p/512783 

Hope this helps.
