I have developed a simple java program to fetch the data of issues/user stories. I want to fetch 'description' field of a perticular issue. I have used GET method to get response but I'm getting errors while connecting to JIRA.
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
public class JiraIssueDescription {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
URL url = new URL("https://****.atlassian.net/rest/agile/1.0/issue/41459");
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
conn.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
conn.setRequestProperty("username", "***@abc.com");
conn.setRequestProperty("password", "****");
if (conn.getResponseCode() != 200) {
throw new RuntimeException("Failed : HTTP error code : "
+ conn.getResponseCode());
}
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
(conn.getInputStream())));
String output;
System.out.println("Output from Server .... \n");
while ((output = br.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(output);
}
conn.disconnect();
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
When I run the project I get following error
java.net.UnknownHostException: ****.atlassian.net

Can anyone please help me with the errors. Do I need to implement OAuth ?
UnknownHostException
looks like you have a typo in your URL or are facing some proxy issues .Does it work in your Browser? It should give you some json in response. Like this: https://jira.atlassian.com/rest/api/2/issue/JSWCLOUD-11658
You could also test with other tools like curl. Does it work?
curl https://jira.atlassian.com/rest/api/2/issue/JSWCLOUD-11658
Atlassian rest API provides two authentication methods, Basic auth and Oauth. Use this approach to create a valid basic auth header or try the request without parameters.
The following code demonstrates how it should work:
This prints:
Instead of a
HttpURLConnection
way of implementing, you could useSpring
'sRestTemplate
in an efficient manner to solve your problem:Providing you a piece of code that I use, with the JIRA REST APIs:
Create a RESTClient that you would want to use in conjunction with JIRA REST APIs as like the below:
Then you can further re-use these methods as like the below:
This will provide the
GET
response from JIRA, which is inJSON
format which can be further manipulated to get the specific field from theGET
response with the use ofcom.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper
Using the JSON that you get in the step above, you can create a POJO class (for example,
Ticket
) and then use it as follows:Hope this helps!
