Hi there,
I'm looking for a way using the REST API
Identify username who closed an ISSUE.

I am grateful for every idea.

Hi @Patrick Uzer , welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You can use the get issue REST API along with expand=changelog parameter. Then you need to parse json response and search for status changes in changelog->histories.

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