Download data from JIRA Core Cloud

[Michael Lock]

We use Tableau for data analysis.  Is it possible go download the data from a JIRA Core Cloud instance?

If so, what is the mechanism for doing that?  Is it possible for Tableau to connect directly to the database of a JIRA Core Cloud instance?

Thanks for the prompt response!  I've heard about REST but know nothing about it.  Is there JIRA documentation about this that I can read?

Yes, start at https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/

Thanks Nic!

No, you get no access to the database.  You have to use the REST interface to get data.
