Is there a way to get Board names into PowerBI using REST API?

[Carlo Villegas]

Hi, I am trying to associate issue keys to the Boards that they are being managed. I have a detailed table of all my issues per project using a REST API pull. I need a second query so I can assign the Board names that these issues are being tracked. I would need some detailed guidance using REST API to get this information. Thank you!

Hello @Carlo Villegas 

This is a Frequently Asked Question, and the answer is... you can't. This is because Issues have no 'knowledge' of which Board(s) are displaying them, since that's not how Boards work. Because of this, an Issue could possibly be 'tracked' on one, dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of Boards at the same time.

Google "Jira Cloud REST API get boards for an issue" to find that same answer in threads such as this one in this forum

All you can do is use the Get Issues for Board endpoint and query against each individual Board located on that Project, one by one, to see if any of the Issues in question are being displayed on that Board or not.

This of course would not cover any other Boards located on other Projects that are also displaying any of those Issues.
