How do I pull time estimates via a script?

Anthony Newnam

I see several issues against JIRA on pulling time estimate information with conflicting details. Is there any way through any mechanism except scraping HTML and parsing it off the site (which I guess I'll do next) to pull this data?

JIRA Command Line Interface can be used with getIssue or getIssueList actions. Use --outputFormat 2 for the single issue action or --outputFormat 5 for the list action to get the time fields.

Thanks, that's perfect. I had tried that without the outputFormat. Is there any documentation that lists the options to the outputFormat?

getIssueList far right column although I just noticed getIssue needs it documented.

Thanks, that's very helpful! I've changed my scripts around to use the CLI instead of manually saved files from JIRA. This seems to do everything I need now except give me information about parent tasks or subtasks. I would like to be able to filter either for issues that have no parent task (top level issues) or issues that have no subtasks (bottom level issues). I don't think this is possible in JQL, and I don't get parent or subtask information back from getIssueList.

Any ideas?

Thanks again for your help, Bob.
