Create Jira issue via rest api - python

shani hayoun
shani hayoun September 9, 2013

Hi,

We're using Jira v5.1.2 and we try to create new Jira issue via rest api.

we run :

cmd = "curl.exe -D- -u user:pass -X POST --data @data_to_send.json -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0' http://outJiraSite/rest/api/2/issue/"

subprocess.check_call(cmd)

 

data_to_send.json:

{
           "fields" : {
               "project": {
                   "key": "CT"
               },
               "summary": "testing",
               "assignee": {
                   "name": 'team'
               },
               "issuetype": {
                   "name": "Task"
               },
               "description": "Testing automatic create Jira Issue  \n",           
               }
         }

and get :

curl: (6) Could not resolve host: (nil); Host not found

I'm not sure what is wrong on your json file, but try the following:

{
    "fields": {
       "project":
       { 
          "key": "AWD"
       },
       "summary": "Issue created via REST.",
       "description": "bla bla bla goes here",
       "issuetype": {
          "name": "Task"
       }
   }
}

And also reduce your call to: curl -D- -u user:pass -X POST --data @data.json -H 'Content-Type: application/json' http://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/issue/

I solved a similar problem by URL-encoding the query string.

(Try posting additional problems as new question. There's no incentive to look into questions that are already marked as answered.)

Hi,

Thank you all. I had several mistakes in my fields request…

Finally, I didn’t use Curl and I used urllib2.Request…and it work!

I’ve one more question please; I like to search jira ticket by summary.

My url is : http://host.com/rest/api/2/search?jql=summary~[x][y][Unstable]- TestGroup/Test failed on 16.

Since my url contain spaces, it can’t find issue.

Do you know how can I overpower this problem?

Thank you very much!

Shani

Hi,

Take a look at Python Client for JIRA

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.jira.jira-python-rest

With this client you will be able to very easily connect and create JIRA issues.

Full documentation:

http://jira-python.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

I hope that will help.

Best Regards,

Mirek
