Where can I get the training on REST API to work with JIRA? I am new to API.

[James Park]

I am wondering if there is a class that I can take to learn the API from the basics.

I only have basic programming knowledge.

Hello @James Park , I know this is an old post, but I was just asking myself the same question. And I wanted to share this tutorial I just found (I haven't started it, but I plan to), in case is useful for others. 

Let me know if you ever found other tutorials or useful material.

Not sure is there any online courses. Jira Cloud REST API guide is pretty complete and it has examples in different programming languages - cURL, node.js, java, python, PHP, Forge.

See https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/intro/ 

Other than that, you can raise questions on the Developer Community if you have any coding questions.

TY so much for the inputs. I will review suggested first.

@Ting _Chiou Ting Teh_  - a course would be REALLY helpful for someone (like me) who doesn't know where to begin.

Is knowledge of a programming language absolutely necessary?
