How to automate Jira using shell script?

[Sanjana Sen]

Direct Automation is closed by my company and they are asking me to automate Jira using shell script. But I know nothing how it works. Can anyone please help me how to start or suggest any video or tutorial for the same.

Hi @Sanjana Sen ,

welcome to the Atlassian Community!

In order to interact with JIRA through a shell script, you should use REST API provided by the tool and call them at your convenience using curl command.

If you use JIRA Server/DataCenter : https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/rest-apis/

If you use JIRA Cloud : https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/software/rest/intro/

Hope this helps,

Fabio
