How can I extract jira release notes using the fix version

[Nimisha P]

Hi all,

I am trying to extract release notes created by jira using the fix version as follows,

curl  --request GET 'https://xxxxx/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?version=fixVersion&styleName=Text&projectId=projectID'

But i am not able to get the issue details using this curl command.

I would like to know how can i get the issue details like issuetype, ticketid, description of the issue of all the issues in a fix version  which is present in the jira release notes using a rest api.

Thanks.

Hello @Nimisha P 

please excuse if this does not help at all, I just found this in the documentation: There seems to be a feature for the release note api that allows to use a custom velocity template to create a user specific layout / content, e.g. adding custom fields: Creating a custom Release Notes template containing release comments (atlassian.com)

Maybe you check this and verify, if this can be used to add the issue description.

Regards,

Harald

Hi @Harald Seyr ,

Thank you for your answer. 

Actually i am trying to extract issue details from jira release notes which is already generating in the required format for a fix version and can be access via following link

https://xxxxx/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?version=fixVersion&styleName=Text&projectId=projectID


The above mentioned page has issuetype, description and the issue id(jira ticket id) and i want to extract these details via api call.

Is there any way to do this???

Best Regards

There seems to be no direct simple api call, at least I failed to find one. Did you check the workarounds discussed at Is there a way to use the JIRA API to retrieve Rel... (atlassian.com)?

Thank you so much for your time. I went through https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Is-there-a-way-to-use-the-JIRA-API-to-retrieve-Release-Notes-of/qaq-p/1678046 and it looks like there is no direct api call for my requirement.

Is there any other way to do this???
