Atlassian Python API - Getting Response from create/update

[Normann P. Nielsen (Netic)]

This pretty need API - https://atlassian-python-api.readthedocs.io/jira.html

How do I get the response from an operation like:

jira.issue_update(jira_key,fields=fields)

jira.issue_create(fields)

It seems to just be "null" or NoneType .....

I would like to get like a 204 NoContent etc etc ...

Hello @Normann P. Nielsen (Netic) 

Reference - https://atlassian-python-api.readthedocs.io/index.html

Install package using pip

pip install atlassian-python-api

Please find the below code examples

from atlassian import Jira

jira = Jira(
url='',
username='',
password=''
)

# Get issue details
key = 'ATP-4'
issue = jira.issue(key)
print(issue) # prints issue details in dict format
print(issue['fields']['summary']) # print just the summary

#Update the summary of the issue
fields = {
'summary': 'Updated Summary from API'
}

jira.update_issue_field(key, fields, notify_users=True)

Thanks & Regards,
Pramodh

Hi @Pramodh M 

But that was not the question - the question is - can You get the actual result of :

jira.update_issue_field(key, fields, notify_users=True)

and print it...

Hi @Normann P. Nielsen (Netic) 

Let me know if you would require help with any other field format?

Thanks

The only thing I need help to is how to get the server response of jira.issue_update(jira_key,fields=fields) and jira.issue_create(fields)

Hi @Normann P. Nielsen (Netic) 

I tried the below scenario, let me know if this works?

issue_key = "ATP-4"
fields = {
  "summary": "Updated summary using direct PUT"
}

# Full absolute URL required by requests
url = f"{jira.url}/rest/api/2/issue/{issue_key}"

response = jira._session.put(url, data=json.dumps({"fields": fields}),
headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"})

print("Status Code:", response.status_code)
print("Response Text:", response.text or "No content (likely 204)")

Thanks and Regards,
Pramodh

hi @Pramodh M 

That is fine I guees - but - You left out most parts of the API - https://atlassian-python-api.readthedocs.io/jira.html ... so is an answers, but not really an answer to my question, as You have to know the url 

{jira.url}/rest/api/2/issue/{issue_key}

and the point with the API is abstracting from that.

But thanks for a possible solution

BR,

Hi @Normann P. Nielsen (Netic) 

Well, while that is not possible. You could extend the class as below

from atlassian import Jira
import json

class JiraWithResponse(Jira):
def issue_create_with_response(self, fields):
response = self._session.post("rest/api/2/issue", data=json.dumps({"fields": fields}),
headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"})
return response.status_code, response.json()

def issue_update_with_response(self, issue_key, fields):
url = f"rest/api/2/issue/{issue_key}"
response = self._session.put(url, data=json.dumps({"fields": fields}),
headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"})
return response.status_code

Then, you can have the code as below

jira = JiraWithResponse(
url='https://your-domain.atlassian.net',
username='your-email@example.com',
password='your-api-token'
)

issueKey = ""

# Create issue and get response code
status_code, data = jira.issue_create_with_response(fields)
print(status_code, data)

# Update issue and get response code
status = jira.issue_update_with_response(issueKey, fields)
print(status)

Let me know if this works!
