Unable to find exact API for fetching Jira issue activity data

Anasuya Ghosh July 8, 2021

Hi team,

I am trying to fetch jira tkt activity data from a project in our jira DC instance via rest API.

This data would be used else where .

Can any one help with what specific API to use?

What "activity" data are you trying to get? The Activity section of the issue includes Comments, Change History, and Work Logs.

This one retrieves all the information for an issue, including the change log, work logs, and comments:

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.6.1/#api/2/issue-getIssue

 

If you want just the comments, this api is for getting the comments associated with an issue:

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.6.1/#api/2/issue-getComments

If you want just the work logs, this one is for getting Work Logs

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.6.1/#api/2/issue-getIssueWorklog

 

I did not see an api for getting just the change log.

 

Caveat: I don't actually use the API. I just looked in the reference document:
