Hi @Anumalla Nithinraj 
Another simple option you can try is the Issue History app developed by my team. It's possible to export issue history into excel sheet there.

Hey @Anumalla Nithinraj 

Using REST API is the best option. I wrote this article a while back on how to extract entire issue history into a CSV file using python.

Read the issues out over the REST API, that's the simplest option.

You can use this call to get the changelog per issue:
