Is there a way to connect a Jira report to Google Data Studio?
2 answers
I wrote a tool in Google Sheets that pulls data directly from Jira using the REST API. I have also linked the GS to GDS. Behind the scenes the GS is using Google Apps Script to call the API. The data is passed via JSON structures. In my case I am writing the data to the GS, but that data could just as easily be written to a DB or something like Google Big Query where GDS could access it.
A more hacky way of doing it would be to link GDS to the spreadsheet and create a trigger that ran the query execution in the spreadsheet at whatever time interval(s) you want. It isn't all that elegant, but it will definitely work. Integrating with GDS is something that I am planning on digging into in the near future.
If you are interested in the spreadsheet I have made it freely available. Here is a blog post that will give you the details. I also have leveraged that approach to create a dashboard within Google Sheets as in interim step to doing it via GDS. I included a screen shot.
