Want to fetch the burndown chart using API.

[Dharmraj Chauhan]

Initially, I tried to retrieve the worklog history of a user by fetching the progress of individual issues. However, this approach did not give me the complete information I needed. Therefore, I am now looking for an API endpoint that would allow me to retrieve all the data I need with a single call. Specifically, I am interested in fetching the sprint burndown chart data that shows how many hours each user burned on a given day. Is anyone know of any API endpoint that would allow me to retrieve this data?

You won't find this in the API in any single place, you are going to have to retrieve a lot of data and calculate what you are looking for.

The reasons for this are

• That's not how burndown works - you are likely to find the team doing stuff like burnin down nothing for the first few days and then suddenly burns down 6 days work on day 4.
• Burndown is for a team, not individuals (and it may be illegal to monitor individuals like this in some places, so Jira simply doesn't implement anything that would let you do it)
• Burndown is calculated from the issues, the estimate on them, the date they get "done" and the sprint data

Is there any other ways, to fetch data like this.
Because, basically what I want to present exact burndown chart in my custom dashboard.

I couldn't able to find out any API which will fetch the worklog history.

I am okay to write or create a complex data model.

First hit on search engines is  https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v2/api-group-issue-worklogs/ but I'd recommend look at the v3 API too.
