Can I query JIRA/Stash via the command line for a list of changed files belonging to a task?

Question

One of my project teams is currently evaluating Stash and JIRA and have asked me a couple of questions that I don't have the answer to.
Are any command line tools available that will let them do the following:
1.       Query a Jira task to get a list of files changed against the task (with their version/hash).
2.       Get a copy of a particular file from stash (it will be from the list create above).
Any assistance to answer these would be awesome.
thanks.

1. Query a Jira task to get a list of files changed against the task (with their version/hash). You can use cURL to access Stash's REST api to retrieve the commits that are linked to the JIRA issue. The endpoint you need is /rest/jira/latest/issues/{issueKey}/commits (documentation is here). Each of the returned commits includes a summary of the changes (files added/modified/deleted). 2. Get a copy of a particular file from stash (it will be from the list create above). From the results of the query described above you can piece together the URL to download a particular version of the file: http://stash.yourdomain.com/projects//repos//browse/?at=&raw Note the &raw at the end. This is needed to get the raw contents instead of the HTML marked up version of the file.
