Product Releases: API to list approvers

[joži]

Does JIRA have API to list approvers and the status of approval for Releases in a Project?

This is unacceptable that we cannot export this information easily. We are going through an audit and are under scrutiny for choosing a platform that cannot produce this information when requested.

I have found that you can use the graphql explorer to fetch this information. 

Navigate to your instance's graphql - https://<your org>.atlassian.net/gateway/api/graphql

Then you can run this query to get the approver information: 

query ReleaseHistoryQuery {
jira @optIn(to: "JiraVersionDriverResult") {
jiraProjectByKey(cloudId: "<your cloud id>", key: "<your project key>"){
key
projectType
id
versions(filter:RELEASED) {
totalCount
edges {
node {
name
versionId
status
description
startDate
releaseDate
issues {
edges {
node{
issueId
summary
}
}
}
contributors {
edges {
node {
accountId
name
}
}
}
driverData {
driver {
accountId
name
}
}
approvers {
edges {
node {
user {
accountId
name
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}

 You'll need to add a header to allow the jiraProjectByKey:

{"x-experimentalapi": "jiraProjectByKey"}

This worked for us, be aware that you need to manage the filter on versions. By default, the versions filter to "unreleased"
