Getting Jira Issue's Branches from REST API

4
votes

I am working with the Atlassian product Jira's REST API, combined with Stash. I have the two applications linked so that I can create branches in Stash for the Jira tickets. That is all working great, but what I need is a REST API call or really any call to get the branches for the issue to help automate our development process.

/rest/api/2/{issueid} // Doesn't work

The standard issue pull, Atlassian documentation https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/6.0.1/#id147461, doesn't give me any information about the branches created for the issue.

The only other way I can think of to get the information is to scan every project's repo for the specific name of the ticket, which sounds wildly inefficient.

I'm using:

Jira version 6.2.6
Stash version 3.0.1

Found the rest url I was looking for and so far I have found zero documentation on it. Anyway I am going to use it as this is the actual url that Jira uses in the user interface.

{Jira App Url}/rest/dev-status/latest/issue/detail?issueId={IssueKey}&applicationType=stash&dataType=pullrequest

The docs: https://quickstart.atlassian.com/download/stash/jira-integration mention there is information about "all branches related to the issue". The decision which branch is related to which issue comes from branch name. I assume what you would like to get is "all branches that have commits related to particular issue" (issue key must be in commit message). As far as I know this is not supported at the moment.

One solution that comes to my mind is using Stash git hooks (https://blogs.atlassian.com/2013/03/stash-22-customize-workflow-git-hooks-api-merge-checks/) with custom JIRA plugin that exposes custom REST API to collect information triggered by git hook.

I'd look at the source for the JIRA part of the integration to see what REST calls it makes to stash. They're probably ones documented here: https://developer.atlassian.com/static/rest/stash/3.0.4/stash-branch-utils-rest.html but they may also use the core REST API for Stash

Try This :

{Jira App Url}/rest/dev-status/latest/issue/detail?issueId={IssueKey}&applicationType=stash&dataType=repository
