API to get documentation for Jira issue

[Pinchas C]

I can use the API - https://<domain name>/rest/api/latest/issue/<issue id> - to get the full JSON payload for a Jira issue.

Is there an API I can use to only get the text on the documentation tab for a Jira issue?

Thanks.

You can use the fields query parameter to select which fields should be returned by the API. If you add "&fields=key,documentationfield1,documentationfield2", the API returns just those fields.

You can find additional info on the fields parameter in the docs.

Are you referring to getting the value of a specific field within the Jira issue?
