Getting Comments from All Projects with API using Python

[Deleted user]

Hello,

So I have the following code below, but: I don't know how to get the comments from issues. Also, I'm confused about how to iterate between all the projects to grab all the issues. Right now, it's set up so that it can only get the information from a single project.

from jira import JIRA

import csv
user = "accountemail@address.com"

apikey = "apikeygoeshere"

server = "https://jirajirajira.atlassian.net"
options = {    "server": server}
jira = JIRA(options, basic_auth=(user,apikey))

size = 100

count = 0

while True:    start= count * size    

issues = jira.search_issues("project=PROJECTKEYGOESHERE", start,size)
    if len(issues) == 0:        

           break    

count += 1        
for issue in issues:        

print("ticket-no=", issue)         

print("IssueType=", issue.fields.issuetype.name)        

print("Status", issue.fields.status.name)        

print("Summary=", issue.fields.summary)        

print ("Comment:", issue.fields.comment.comments[0].author.name)

@[deleted] Look like your pretty near to solving this issue, here are some suggestions against questions you have asked,

• To gell all issues in Jira without limiting them with project boundary, try JQL in `jira.search_issues` without project, you can simply put some order by clause in this.
• Now you will get all issues, you can easily iterate over them using for loop.
• Also use 'comments = jira.comments(issue)` instead of 'comments = issue.fields.comment.comments', later doesn't seems to work sometimes.

I hope this helps.
