Jira issue type values for Rest api

Question

Where can I find Jira issue type values that we pass to IssueBuilder class constructor? For ex: If i want to create a issue type of bug using jira rest api , We pass value '1L' to Issue Builder class constructor.

IssueInputBuilder issueBuilder = new IssueInputBuilder("Key", 1l);

Similarly what are the values of other jira issue types ?.. Anybody know the values we need to pass ?

Answer 1

If you want to get a list of all available issuetypes, you can use the REST API (/rest/api/2/issuetype). To try that on your JIRA instance, I like to recommend the Atlassian REST API Browser.

Or just look here: Finding the Id for Issue Types

In Java you can get a list of all issuetype object using getAllIssueTypeObjects().

If you are using later Jira REST Java Client API (e.g. 4.0), the interface has been changed. You must use following code to browsing all issue types:

private static final String JIRA_SERVER = "http://jiralab";

public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
        JiraRestClientFactory factory = new AsynchronousJiraRestClientFactory();
        URI uri = new URI(JIRA_SERVER);
        JiraRestClient client = factory.createWithBasicHttpAuthentication(uri, "admin", "admin");
        listAllIssueTypes(client);          
    }
    catch (Exception ex) {
    }
}

private static void listAllIssueTypes(JiraRestClient client) throws Exception {
    Promise<Iterable<IssueType>> promise = client.getMetadataClient().getIssueTypes();
    Iterable<IssueType> issueTypes = promise.claim();
    for (IssueType it : issueTypes) {
        System.out.println("Type ID = " + it.getId() + ", Name = " + it.getName());
    }
}
