Issue information in JSON format is available through the following REST call:
https://jira.[DOMAIN].com/rest/api/2/issue/[TICKET REFERENCE]
If the Issue is a Story with subtasks, the timetracking information returned by this REST call is either the following:
- or -
- or -
But, if you goto the website version and check the "Include sub-tasks" checkbox, the timetracker then updates on the website's graphical side to include all the sub-tasks time together.
Is there a way to include this checkbox value in the REST call? Can I make a REST call to an Issue that includes the sub-tasks in the timertracking section? Are there parameters I can include in the GET request for the REST call to have this option enabled?
Thanks,

It doesn't look like the current REST API supporsts this operation.
For anyone reading this and needs a work around, you can scrape the HTML page for the information; it's messy, I know. In my environment, the "Include sub-tasks" is checked automatically when loading the page, so therefore, parsing the raw HTML gets me what I want.
(If the checkbox is not automatically checked for your environment, it becomes 10 times harder and you'll have to do some trickery with Javascript)
In my example, I only want the "Estimated" time that includes the sub-tasks. The "Estimated" time is located between <dd ...>...</dd> tags. If you search for the ID "tt_aggregate_values_orig" and grab the text between ">...<" you'll get your answer.
Here is some C# detailing this:
HttpResponseMessage response = client.GetAsync("https://jira.[DOMAIN].com/browse/" + issue).Result;
string httpResult = Regex.Replace(response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result, @"\t|\n|\r", String.Empty);
string[] capture = httpResult.Split(new string[] { "tt_aggregate_values_orig" }, StringSplitOptions.None);
string estimateScrape = capture.Length >= 2 ? Regex.Match(capture[1], @">(.+?)</dd>").Groups[1].Value.Trim() : "";
I have "capture.Length >= 2" because if there is no time on any of the sub-tasks and the story, this ID will not be present in the HTML.
