Hello @Rajinish_Gaddam 

Welcome to the community,

You can use the jira library for python. Here a code to create a project :

from jira import JIRA
jira = JIRA(basic_auth=('username", 'password'), options={'server': 'https://jiraURL'})

jira.create_project("projectKey","projectnaame","projectlead","projecttype")

Hope this helps

Hi @Mohamed Benziane , 

    thank you for immediate response, but still I'm facing the issue.

the above code didn't work for me. it's throwing an error 

 text: The referenced project template was not found - the project has not been created.

response headers = {'Server': 'AtlassianProxy/1.15.8.1', 'Vary': 'Accept', 'Cache-Control': 'no-cache, no-store, no-transform', 'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8', 'Strict-Transport-Security': 'max-age=315360000; includeSubDomains; preload', 'Date': 'Fri, 07 Feb 2020 12:29:01 GMT', 'ATL-TraceId': '0e4d0d7a2dec6308', 'X-AACCOUNTID': '<accountId>', 'X-AREQUESTID': '448d-ae03-cb36f12b10de', 'X-XSS-Protection': '1; mode=block', 'Transfer-Encoding': 'chunked', 'Timing-Allow-Origin': '*', 'X-Content-Type-Options': 'nosniff', 'Connection': 'close'}
response text = {"message":"The referenced project template was not found - the project has not been created.","status-code":500,"stack-trace":""}

can you please let me know. what information goes into lead key? in the project 

  "lead": "<accountId>",

it's throwing an internal server error while I'm creating a project 

{
    "errorMessages": [
        "Internal server error"
    ],
    "errors": {}
}

[Mohamed Benziane]

Can you share the code that you use with the jira library please

[Rajinish_Gaddam]

@Mohamed Benziane sorry for delayed response 

code:

jira.create_project(key="JP", name="jira_project", assignee="Rajinish Gadddam", type="Software")

Exception: 

jira.exceptions.JIRAError: JiraError HTTP 500 url: https://<org_url>/rest/project-templates/latest/templates

[Mohamed Benziane]

Can you try this please :

jira.create_project("JP", "jira_project", "Rajinish Gadddam","Software")

[Rajinish_Gaddam]

still facing the same issue @Mohamed Benziane

I'm using Jira cloud 

url = 'https://<org>.atlassian.net/rest/project-templates/latest/templates' 

error : 'The referenced project template was not found - the project has not been created.'

status_code: 500

for reference:

payload:

{
'name': 'jira_project',
'key': 'JP',
'keyEdited': 'false',
'projectTemplateWebItemKey': 'com.atlassian.jira-legacy-project-templates:jira-blank-item',
'projectTemplateModuleKey': 'com.atlassian.jira-legacy-project-templates:jira-blank-item',
'lead': 'Rajinish Gadddam',
'type': 'Software'
}

[Mohamed Benziane]

Are you sure that you have jira-software installed ?

[Rajinish_Gaddam]

I'm using jira cloud, is it any different form jira-software?. I'm trying to create a project using jira python module version (jira==2.0.0)

[Mohamed Benziane]

Can you use "Scrum" instead of "Software"

[Rajinish_Gaddam]

still same issue @Mohamed Benziane I'm not getting where I'm going wrong

from jira import JIRA

ORGANISATION = "https://<ord>.atlassian.net"

jira = JIRA(basic_auth=('<email>', '<api key>'), options={'server': ORGANISATION})


jira.create_project("JP", "jira_project", "Rajinish Gadddam", "Scrum")

[Mohamed Benziane]

Ok i just tried this and it's working fine :

jira.create_project(key="Python",name="Create for python",assignee="mohamed.benziane",type="Software",template_name="Scrum software development")

 here the liste of possible template:

# possible_templates =

[ # "Scrum software development",

 # "Agility",

 #"Bug tracking", 

#"JIRA Classic",

#"JIRA Default Schemes",

# "Basic software development",

# "Project management",

# "Kanban software development",

# "Task management",

# "Basic",

# "Content Management",

# "Customer service",

# "Document Approval",

# "IT Service Desk",

# "Lead Tracking",

# "Process management",

# "Procurement",

# "Recruitment", # ]

thank you so much for your help @Mohamed Benziane  you're a life saviour.

another approach to the same problem:

url = "https://<org url>/rest/simplified/latest/project"

headers = {
    "Accept": "application/json",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

auth = HTTPBasicAuth("<email>", "<api key>")

project_payload = {
"name": "Jira_project",
"key": "JP",
"templateKey": "com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:gh-simplified-kanban-classic"
}

response = requests.request(
    "POST",
    url,
    data=json.dumps(project_payload),
    headers=headers,
    auth=auth
)

Hi @Rajinish_Gaddam ,

I can see everytime you have been chaning url value.

How you get correct url value to create a new project?

In my case I see list of projects here at

"https://myjirasite123.atlassian.net/secure/BrowseProjects.jspa"

[Rajinish_Gaddam]

@Bas sorry for the delayed replay, reason I have mentioned multiple urls because I have tried all the urls mentioned by different experts until I find authentic url and @Mohamed Benziane has given an appropriate answer to create project

@Mohamed Benziane 

Hello, I wanted to ask how I can get the: projectTemplateKey of my project so that the projects that I create are created under that same template assigned to other previous projects. Thank you
