How to get license count for JIRA using REST API?

[Chander Inguva]

I was working on a script to automate the license count for JIRA Software (Server), also send an email everyday about the count of licenses.

Hope this script helps someone looking for a solution to count jira licenses 

I have used basic Python requests module for this. Tweak the code for your own use.

#Package for REST API CALL and json formatting
import requests
import json

#Packages for Email
import smtplib
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.base import MIMEBase
from email import encoders

headers = { 'Accept': '*/*',}
url= 'https://jira.example.com/rest/plugins/applications/1.0/installed/jira-software'
r=requests.get(url=url,headers=headers,auth=("username","password"),verify=False)
print(r.status_code)
data=json.loads(r.text)
activeUsers = data['accessDetails']['activeUserCount']
#print("There are currently %d counted towards JIRA Software License" % (activeUsers))licensedUsers = data['accessDetails']['licensedUserCount']
remainingLicenses= licensedUsers - activeUsers
#print("There are %d licenses left" % (remainingLicenses))

#Send Email
recepients=['user1@example.com']
fromaddr="user2@example.com"
msg=MIMEMultipart()
msg['From']=fromaddr
msg['To']=", ".join(recepients)
msg['Subject']="JIRA License Information"   
body="There are currently" + " " +str(activeUsers)+ " "+ "accounts counted towards JIRA Software License [2000 User License]"
msg.attach(MIMEText(body,'plain'))
server=smtplib.SMTP('smtp.example.com',25)
text=msg.as_string()
server.sendmail(fromaddr,recepients,text)
server.quit()

Does this work for jira cloud ?

[Chander Inguva]

Hey Krishna,

Please try setting the URL to Jira Cloud, unfortunately i do not have a cloud instance to check it.

I believe it should work.

[Jerry Laster _Divim_ Inc__]

This doesn't seem to work anymore. The url is no longer valid. Anyone found a different approach?

Still works for Server
