You can use Jira Rest Api. You can find more info here

What I can do after getting api. Sorry I’m new please explain 

thanks

If you use the calls to the API to ask Jira questions, it will return data.

You will need to read that data, it will contain the issue history.

This is a vague guide to what you can do.  This was deliberate, because we don't actually know what you want to do with it.  Given "Extract Jira issue history", we can't really tell you more than "ask the API, it will give you the history"

Yes my team uses JIRA api to pull date into hive . Can I ask one more question . Is there any field in JIRA that can give the details of time in status means timespemt on each status for JIRA issues 

that will help us to run metrics 

thanks

Your "hive" pull will need to read and understand the responses from Jira then.  Not really sure why you're pulling Jira data into a thermostat/home-control system, but it's good for you, why not!

Time in status and time spent on an issue are two very different metrics.  Simple example - the last script I wrote for a client took 30 minutes to write and test.  It was in "in progress" for a week.

There's no way a computer can translate between work done and elapsed time unless it is the thing doing all the work, and hence has both numbers already.

You need to execute

GET /rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}?expand=changelog

You will see in the result all status changes with dates. Unfortunately, the time, which was spent in each status, you should calculate yourself. You could subtract the date of the current status with the date of the previous status.
