Obtaining a list of Components in a Project (version 7)

[Bill Blinn]

The company I work for is upgrading JIRA to v7.3.6 from v6.3.12 and I'm having trouble finding answers to some questions. I am just a user, not an administrator. Here is one of the questions:

Currently I can obtain a list of components in a project and their process ID numbers by using this API call:
https://JIRA-URL/rest/api/2/issue/createmeta?projectKeys=DSCUST&expand=projects.issuetypes.fields&issuetypeName=Story

However, when I replace the version 6 JIRA-URL with the one for version 7, I get an empty json set: {"expand":"projects","projects":[]}

Research suggested that https://JIRA-URL/rest/api/2/issue/createmeta?findAllForProject(DSCUST) would provide what I needed. Although I get a long block of json code, Components that exist in the project are not listed.

The Project (DSCUST) exists and some Components have been defined.

Could someone who knows more about this than I do (and that will be just about anybody) toss me a clue?

It's easy and possible using REST APIs to get the list of project components.

Latest release -- https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/server/#api/2/project-getProjectComponents

REST end point - GET /rest/api/2/project/{projectIdOrKey}/components

and yes it's supported by JIRA 7.x versions

Thanks again, Tarun. I now have the needed information.

Please use below script and replace jira URL and login details, which will generate CSV file with all projects and corresponding Components, I already used for our Jira

import csv
import jira.client

from jira.client import JIRA

options = {'server': 'http://jiratest'}

jira = JIRA(options, basic_auth=('user-id', 'password'))

projects = jira.projects()

all_components = {}

for v in projects:
      all_components[v.name] = ', '.join(map(lambda x: x.name, jira.project_components(v)))

with open('output.csv','w') as myfile:
     writer = csv.writer(myfile)
     for key, value in all_components.items():
     writer.writerow([str(key),str(value)])
