How to get release driver from the Get Versions REST API

[Meera Menon]

I understand that we can use ?expand=driver to get the driver account id in the https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-project-versions/#api-rest-api-3-version-id-get API.

Is there a similar way to get the driver details for each release version in the https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-project-versions/#api-rest-api-3-project-projectidorkey-versions-get API ?

Also, is there a way to retrieve the driver email address using the account ID. I need to send email to the respective release driver(s) for all overdue versions in JIRA.

Thank you!

Hi @Meera Menon -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

For your first question: no, there is no way to get the driver with the endpoint that returns all the versions for a project.  Here is a suggestion to add that capability: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-25586

For your second question, you could try:

• gathering all of the users (with pagination) and filter by accountId: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-users/#api-rest-api-3-users-search-get
• use the Get User Email Bulk, although that appears to require whitelisting approval from Atlassian: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-users/#api-rest-api-3-user-email-bulk-get
• first add the driver users as watchers of an issue (e.g., an issue just for this purpose or one in the version), then use Find Users by Query to gather them: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-user-search/#api-rest-api-3-user-search-query-get

Kind regards,
Bill
