Extracting output of Jira Queries

[Ramesh Pai]

I am looking for a not too complicated way of extracting output (count mostly) from executing a JIRA query through some scripts.

For e.g. Is there a way I can write a script which does the following:

// Use <...url...> for connecting to JIRA instance, Login using <userid>, <password>

// Run "....." Jira query OR "...." filter and extract the count of the query or filter output in to "count1" variable.

Any help is highly appreciated

Use Jira CLI https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugins/org.swift.jira.cli/version/12 with option getIssueList
