JIRA Automate project creation

[Sid]

Hi Team,

I want to create a custom application (python/ any) with UI like a template with details like name of project, key etc., so the users who want to have a JIRA project can enter the values and submit. Once submitted it will be reviewed by JIRA Admin and approves.

Once it is approved it automatically creates a JIRA project for and emails the url to the requester.

So I would like if any one can give your inputs or suggestions to start.

thanks

Hi @Sid 

I suggest you use the rest api for creating projects

see

For your starter

I also recommend the REST API browser for experimenting easily with api calls

Hello,

I think you should have a look at Jira REST API. Here is a REST call to create a project in Jira:

Thanks @Alexey Matveev ,

But I want some time of approval involved. Is there any thing I need to consider like permissions?

If you want to create a custom application, then you should handle the approval process in your application. If you want to handle the approval process in Jira, then I do not understand why you want to write an application in Python.
