The Jira REST API enables you to interact with Jira programmatically.
Use this API to
[build
apps](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/integrating-with-jira-cloud/),
script interactions with
Jira, or develop any other type of integration. This page documents the
REST resources available in Jira Cloud, including
the HTTP response codes and example requests and responses.
title: About
- anchor: version
body: >
This documentation is for **version 3** of the Jira Cloud platform REST
API, which is the latest version
but is in **beta**. [Version
2](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v2/) and
version 3 of the API offer the same collection of operations. However,
version 3 provides support for
the [Atlassian Document
Format](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/apis/document/structure/)
(ADF) in:
- `body` in comments, including where comments are used in issue, issue
link, and transition resources.
- `comment` in worklogs.
- `description` and `environment` fields in issues.
- `textarea` type custom fields (multi-line text fields) in issues.
Single line custom fields
(`textfield`) accept a string and don't handle Atlassian Document Format content.
However, these new features are under development and may change.
title: Version
- anchor: authentication
body: >
### Forge apps
For Forge apps, [REST API
scopes](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/scopes-for-oauth-2-3LO-and-forge-apps/)
are used when authenticating with Jira Cloud platform. See [Add scopes
to call an Atlassian REST
API](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/add-scopes-to-call-an-atlassian-rest-api/)
for more details.
The URIs for Forge app REST API calls have this structure:
`/rest/api/3/`
For example, `/rest/api/3/issue/DEMO-1`
### Connect apps
For Connect apps, authentication (JWT-based) is built into the Connect
libraries. Authorization is implemented using either
scopes (shown as _App scope required_ for operations on this page) or
user impersonation. See
[Security for Connect
apps](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/security-for-connect-apps/)
for details.
The URIs for Connect app REST API calls have this structure:
`https:///rest/api/3/`
For example, `https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/DEMO-1`
### Other integrations
For integrations that are not Forge or Connect apps, use OAuth 2.0
authorization code grants (3LO) for security
(3LO scopes are shown as for operations _OAuth scopes required_). See
[OAuth 2.0 (3LO)
apps](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/oauth-2-3lo-apps/)
for details.
The URIs for OAuth 2.0 (3LO) app REST API calls have this structure:
`https://api.atlassian.com/ex/jira//rest/api/3/`
For example,
`https://api.atlassian.com/ex/jira/35273b54-3f06-40d2-880f-dd28cf8daafa/rest/api/3/issue/DEMO-1`
### Ad-hoc API calls
For personal scripts, bots, and ad-hoc execution of the REST APIs use
basic authentication. See [Basic auth for REST
APIs](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/basic-auth-for-rest-apis/)
for details.
The URIs for basic authentication REST API calls have this structure:
`https:///rest/api/3/`
For example, `https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/DEMO-1`
title: Authentication and authorization
- anchor: permissions
body: >
### Operation permissions
Most operations in this API require permissions. The calling user must
have the required permissions for an operation to
use it. Note that for Connect apps, the app user must have the required
permissions for the operation and the app must
have scopes that permit the operation.
A permission can be granted to a group, project role, or issue role that
the user is a member of, or granted directly to a user.
See [Permissions overview](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/FQiiLQ)
for details. The most common permissions are:
- **Administer the Cloud site**: Users in the _site-admins_ group have
this
permission. See [Manage
groups](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/24xjL) for details.
- **Administer Jira**: Granted by the _Jira Administrators_ global
permission. There is a default group for this permission.
See [Manage groups](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/24xjL) and
[Managing global permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/x4dKLg)
for details.
- **Administer a project in Jira**: Granted by the _Administer projects_
project permission for a project. This can be
granted to a user, a group, a project role, and more.
See [Managing project
permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/yodKLg) for details.
- **Access a project in Jira**: Granted by the _Browse projects_ project
permission for a project. This can be
granted to a user, a group, a project role, and more.
See [Managing project
permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/yodKLg) for details.
- **Access Jira**: Granted by the _Jira Users_ global permission. Users
in the default product access group (for example,
_jira-software-users-acmesite_) have this permission.
See [Manage groups](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/24xjL) and
[Managing global permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/x4dKLg)
for details.
### Anonymous access
Some operations provide support for anonymous access. However, anonymous
access is only available if
the Jira permission needed to access the object or records returned by
the operation is granted to
the _Public_ group. See [Allowing anonymous access to your
project](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/GDxxLg)
for details.
If an operation is called anonymously and anonymous access is not
available, the operation will return
an error. Note that not all operations that correspond to objects that
can be given public access
provide for anonymous access.
title: Permissions
- anchor: expansion
body: >+
### Expansion
The Jira REST API uses resource expansion, which means that some parts
of a resource are not returned unless specified
in the request. This simplifies responses and minimizes network traffic.
To expand part of a resource in a request, use the expand query
parameter and specify the object(s) to be expanded.
If you need to expand nested objects, use the `.` dot notation. If you
need to expand multiple objects, use a
comma-separated list.
For example, the following request expands the `names` and
`renderedFields` properties for the _JRACLOUD-34423_ issue:
`GET issue/JRACLOUD-34423?expand=names,renderedFields`
To discover which object can be expanded, refer to the `expand` property
in the object.
In the JSON example below, the resource declares `widgets` as
expandable.
```json
{
"expand": "widgets",
"self": "https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/resource/KEY-1",
"widgets": {
"widgets": [],
"size": 5
}
}
```
### Pagination
The Jira REST API uses pagination to improve performance. Pagination is
enforced for operations that could return a large
collection of items. When you make a request to a paginated resource,
the response wraps the returned array of values in
a JSON object with paging metadata. For example:
```json
{
"startAt" : 0,
"maxResults" : 10,
"total": 200,
"isLast": false,
"values": [
{ /* result 0 */ },
{ /* result 1 */ },
{ /* result 2 */ }
]
}
```
* `startAt` is the index of the first item returned in the page.
* `maxResults` is the maximum number of items that a page can return.
Each operation can have a different limit for
the number of items returned, and these limits may change without notice. To find the maximum number of items
that an operation could return, set `maxResults` to a large number—for example, over 1000—and if the returned value of `maxResults` is less than the requested value, the returned value is the maximum.
* `total` is the total number of items contained in all pages. This
number **_may change_** as the client
requests the subsequent pages, therefore the client should always assume
that the requested page can be empty. Note
that this property is not returned for all operations.
* `isLast` indicates whether the page returned is the last one. Note
that this property is not returned for all operations.
### Ordering
Some operations support ordering the elements of a response by a field.
Check the documentation for the operation to
confirm whether ordering of a response is supported and which fields can
be used. Responses are listed in ascending order
by default. You can change the order using the `orderby` query parameter
with a `-` or `+` symbol. For example:
* `?orderBy=name` to order by `name` field ascending.
* `?orderBy=+name` to order by `name` field ascending.
* `?orderBy=-name` to order by `name` field descending.

- anchor: timestamps
body: >
By default, top-level timestamps (e.g. updated and created) are returned
in [ISO 8601](https://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime) format, in the system
default user time zone.
To return date time data in the logged in user's timezone, please refer
to `renderedFields` property under the `expand` query parameter in
relevant APIs.

- anchor: special-request-headers
body: >-
The following request and response headers define important metadata for
the Jira Cloud REST API resources.
- `X-Atlassian-Token` (request): Operations that accept
multipart/form-data must include the `X-Atlassian-Token: no-check`
header in requests. Otherwise the request is blocked by cross-site
request forgery (CSRF/XSRF) protection.
- `X-Force-Accept-Language` (request): controls how the standard HTTP
`Accept-Language` header is processed.
By default `Accept-Language` is ignored and the response is in the
language configured in the user's profile or,
when no language is configured for the user, the default Jira instance
language. For the response to recognize
`Accept-Language` send `X-Force-Accept-Language = true` as well. If
`Accept-Language` requests a language that Jira
can return the response is in that language, otherwise Jira returns the
response in the default language. If
`Accept-Language` is not specified the response is in the default
language.
- `X-AAccountId` (response): This response header contains the
Atlassian account ID of the authenticated user.

- anchor: anonymous-operations
body: |2-
Jira provides for all permissions, except the [global permission](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/x4dKLg) Administer Jira, to be assigned to *Anyone*. Once a permission is assigned to *Anyone*, anyone knowing a project's URL is able to use the features in Jira enabled by the permission. However, the Jira REST API does not enable anonymous access for operations by default. This means that an anonymous user who may be able to perform an action through Jira, may not be able to perform the same action where it's enabled by the REST API.
The operations that provide anonymous access are annotated "This operation can be accessed anonymously."

- anchor: async-operations
body: >-
Some Jira REST API operations may trigger long-running or
computationally expensive tasks. In these cases, the operation
will schedule an asynchronous task and return a `303 (See Other)`
response, indicating the location of the queued task
in the `Location` header. You can query this task to get progress
updates.
When the task finishes, the response object will contain the `result`
field. The content of the field is specific to the
operation that created the task. Refer to the operation’s documentation
for more information.
Note that asynchronous tasks are not guaranteed to be run in order. In
other words, if you need your tasks to execute
in a certain order, you should start a task only after the prerequisite
task(s) have finished.

- anchor: status-codes
body: >-
The Jira Cloud platform REST API uses the [standard HTTP status
codes](https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html).
Operations that return an error status code may also return a response
body containing details of the error or errors.
The schema for the response body is shown below:
```json
{
"id": "https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/schema/error-collection#",
"title": "Error Collection",
