Jira Data Extraction using Python
Jira is a software application developed by the Australian software company Atlassian that allows teams to track issues, manage projects, and automate workflows. You can read more about Jira in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jira_(software)
Data can be fetched from Jira by using the Jira Python library, which provides a convenient interface for interacting with Jira's REST API.
The configuration, required, in the Jira software tool, is as follows:
-
Create a Jira user account.
-
Create a domain name, add a project, and, record some issues, or, bugs. The code will fetch, issues data, using Python code.
-
You need to have, a valid token, for authentication, which can be obtained, from link https://id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens.
Make sure you have the jira library installed. You can install it using pip:
pip install jira
Make sure to replace 'https://your-jira-instance.com' with the URL of your Jira instance. Set 'your-username' and 'your-api-token' to your Jira username and API token respectively.
