Identifying when an Issue Transitions via API

[Simon Marriott]

Hi,
We are currently using Jira Server and use a trigger to run a process in a Python script that manages our code review and submission process.  However, we are in the progress of Migrating to Jira Cloud and will not be able to accept triggers from outside our premises.  Therefore we need to use a python script to track transitions via the API.
1) Is this possioble?

2) What approach should I take?

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Jira Cloud can accept calls from anywhere, over its REST API, so all you need to do is adapt your scripts to use the Cloud REST API.

Thank you! So I realise that Jira Cloud can accept calls from anywhere, over it's rest API hence my question. But can the state transition in the workflow of issues in a project be polled via the rest API?

The response to "show me an issue" includes all the history of an issue unless you tell it not to!
