How to retrieve history details of an issue from jira using "jira-rest-java-client"?

[nipun d]

I am not able to retrieve history details of an issue using jira rest api.

How I can retrieve history details ?

[rmcdow · Accepted solution]

You can ignore my question. I figured it out :)

getIssueClient().getIssue(bi.getKey(),Arrays.asList(IssueRestClient.Expandos.CHANGELOG));

How does this work? The second argument is ProgressMonitor progressMonitor not an array list.

FOUNT OUT!. getIssueClient().getIssue(bi.getKey(),Arrays.asList(IssueRestClient.Expandos.CHANGELOG), null);

As what kind of type of object/List am I suppose to "save" the data from the history?

I am getting a suggestion of:

Promise<Issue> issueHistory=  restClient.getIssueClient().getIssue(issue.getKey(),Arrays.asList(IssueRestClient.Expandos.CHANGELOG));

when I am in debugging mode and analyzing the variable "isseHistory" i cannt find any useful information.

[georgiossalon]

Found it!! :)))

It is of type Issue ->>

Issue issueHistory =  restClient.getIssueClient().getIssue(issue.getKey(),Arrays.asList(IssueRestClient.Expandos.CHANGELOG)).claim();

try

<jira_host>/rest/api/2/issue/<ISSUE-KEY>?expand=changelog

You have posted the question again as comment. Faysal's comment was the answer for your question. Read the REST API docs at https://jira.atlassian.com/plugins/servlet/restbrowser#/, search google for how to make REST calls using you language of programming.

For history as Faysal says, pass the extra argument expand=changelog.

Also search this forum for many post on the same topic, for example https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/64708/is-it-possible-to-get-the-issue-history-using-the-rest-api

I believe what nipun was specifically asking was if/how he can do this using the JIRA REST Java Client Library. Is this possible?

[Christian Lipp]

Yes, this is what he wanted to know. He didn't post the question as comment, he tried to clarify since the answer has nothing to do with his question.
