Hoexport issues to csv file from Jira Cloud ?

[Frank Kawperwood]

Hi All!

I need to export all issues in status "In Progress" from jira Cloud programmatically. Does anyone know how to do this through jira API ?

Help, please.

Thanks,
Aleksandr

Dear @Frank Kawperwood,

when you search for issues(JQL: status = "In Progress), you can just export them to CSV or XML. Click on the icon in the upper right corner of your screen.

But when you pull the data form the REST API, you can get any detail (even the history) you desire. But some coding skills are required.

So long

Hello, Thomas!
Thanks for your answer.

I understand that export issues with GUI is not a big problem.

I just want to make a Jira add-on that can do this programmatically. So, the question is: may you show an example query to JIRA API for issues in status 'In progress" ?

The problem for me: too many unnecessary details comes with query. For example:
https://blabla.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/10000 returns JSON, that has "fields" field: that has many another fields...

Is there docs that describe these fields ?

Thanks for your help, Thomas!

Dear @Frank Kawperwood,

unfortunately the response json fields are not fully documented. You will best experiment with a rest client and figure it out. Its self explaining but you have to check once the response with issue information to understand everything.

Alternatively you can make use of Jira REST API lib. There are some outside - even one (old) from Atlassian. For Python you can check this page.

So long
