# This code sample uses the 'requests' library:
# http://docs.python-requests.org
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
import json

def JiraBoard():
    url = "https://jiratest.com/rest/api/2/search"

    auth = HTTPBasicAuth("test", "password")

    headers = {
        "Accept": "application/json"
    }

    query = {
        'jql': 'project = DM', "startAt":1,
        "maxResults":20
    }

    response = requests.request(
        "GET",

        headers=headers,
        params=query,
        auth=auth
    )
    issues =(response.json()["issues"])
    for issue in issues:

        print(
            issue["key"],
            issue["id"],
            issue["fields"]["customfield_20590"]["name"]
        )

Hi @Rakesh Patil ,

You better use the atlassian python lib (pip install atlassian-python-api) and use this:

from atlassian import Jira

def JiraBoard():
  jira = Jira(
    url='https://jiratest.com',
    username='test',
    password='password'
  )

  jql = 'project = DM'
  start_at = 1
  max_results = 20

  response = jira.jql(jql, start=start_at, limit=max_results)

  issues = response['issues']
  for issue in issues:
    custom_field = issue['fields'].get('customfield_20590')
    custom_field_name = custom_field.get('name') if custom_field else 'N/A'

    print(
      issue['key'],
      issue['id'],
      custom_field_name
    )

JiraBoard()
