How to retrieve all Jira project releases through API?

[Chris Spencer]

How do you retrieve all the releases through the API that are shown on the "Releases" page in Jira cloud?

e.g.

https://myproject.atlassian.net/projects/myproject?orderField=RANK&selectedItem=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin%3Arelease-page&status=unreleased

The Python API has has a `version(id)` function, but it requires an ID. I need to lookup all the releases that have been created, just just a specific one.

In this case, I think you are looking for a specific version name/number, namely the unreleased ones in that project.  As such you can retrieve this by using the endpoint of GET /rest/api/3/project/{projectIdOrKey}/version  More details on the syntax of this can be found in Get project versions paginated.

This endpoint will allow you to use the status parameter in your REST call, which you can enter the value of 'unreleased' in order to see all those versions in that project that have not yet been released.

I ended up using the Python wrapper for the API and doing:

    jira = JIRA({'server': server_name}, basic_auth=(username, password))

    versions = jira.project_versions(myproject_key)

this method might have changed to :
get_project_versions(self, key, expand=None)
