Is there a way to get data from REST API in a csv format instead of JSON without additional converters?
Raw JASON comes with a lot of extra data, we are having problems flattening it.
Need to GET a list of issues.
No, it's JSON only.
One of the reasons REST throws out JSON is that CSV is generally too simple to represent some of the data usefully. I suspect the problem you're having "flattening JSON" is because the data simply doesn't fit into a CSV layout.
However, you don't have to use REST - you could also hit the urls in the issue navigator that provide the results of filters as xml or csv. Run a search and look for the export options
I need to create a batch job that sends updates from JIRA to an external database. The only way I see it is through REST.
Looking into PowerShell now and Invoke-RestMethod looks promising. Are there any good sources for JIRA REST code in PowerShell? All REST tutorials seem to be in old command-line curl.
Sorry, that should have been a Reply to Nic, not a separate Answer..
I don't know, I've not used PowerShell since I gave up on Window many many years ago.
The xml and csv should still work though, they come over plain http(s) with no formatting.
So is it possible to grab JIRA data in plain xml and csv automatically, without going to JIRA and exporting it manually?
