Requirements

• Python 3.6 or higher
• Access to a Jira instance with valid credentials (username and API token)

Usage

The package provides a main function, fetch_jira_data, to retrieve data from Jira REST API endpoints.

Example: Fetch Issue Details

from jira_api.jira_client import fetch_jira_data, HTTP_SUCCESS

# Define the Jira URL, authentication, and parameters
url = "https://your-jira-instance.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/JIGY-29"
auth = ("your_username", "your_api_token")  # Use your Jira username and API token
params = {"fields": "summary,status,comment,worklog"}

# Fetch data
data = fetch_jira_data(url, auth, params)

# Check if the request was successful
if data and data.get('status_code', HTTP_SUCCESS) == HTTP_SUCCESS:
    print("Issue data:", data)
else:
    print("Failed to fetch data")

Function Details

• fetch_jira_data(url, auth, params=None):
  • Parameters:
    • url (str): The Jira REST API endpoint (e.g., /rest/api/2/issue/{issueKey}).
    • auth: A tuple of (username, password) or (username, API token) for authentication.
    • params (dict, optional): Query parameters for the API request (e.g., {"fields": "summary"}).
  • Returns:
    • dict: JSON response data if the request is successful (status code 200).
    • None: If the request fails, with an error message printed.
  • HTTP_SUCCESS: Constant for status code 200, imported as HTTP_SUCCESS.

Example: Fetch Sprint Issues

from jira_api.jira_client import fetch_jira_data, HTTP_SUCCESS

url = "https://your-jira-instance.atlassian.net/rest/agile/1.0/sprint/123/issue"
auth = ("your_username", "your_api_token")
params = {"jql": "status in (Done, Closed, Resolved)", "maxResults": 500, "fields": "key,customfield_10111"}

data = fetch_jira_data(url, auth, params)
if data:
    issues = data.get('issues', [])
    for issue in issues:
        print(f"Issue {issue['key']}: {issue.get('fields', {}).get('customfield_10111', 'No story points')}")
