REST API Integrations

You can use REST API integrations in Time Tracker for Jira Cloud.

REST Endpoint

In addition to Jira native support for loading worklogs via REST, you can get worklogs in json format, including issue data, by using the REST endpoint add-on, available at https://timesheet-reports-gadgets.tempo.io/atlassian-connect.json with your Apikey, as described below.

timesheet-reports-gadgets.tempo.io has to be unchanged, but you will need to provide your Apikey (which is your Jira url and encoded user). You can get your key from the General Configuration Settings.

Supported parameters:

  • start (or startDate): Required start date in YYYY-MM-DD format.

  • end (or endDate): Required end date in YYYY-MM-DD format.

  • user: Optional user account id.

  • groups: Optional group names.

  • filterOrProjectId: Optional, e.g. filterOrProjectId=project_TIMES&filterOrProjectId=filter_10010

  • moreFields: Optional list of fields to include in issue details.

  • In REST, it may also be possible to use the url from a report page after the hash-bang( #!) delimiter.

In the case of a long polling request, the response will contain status 202 and content-type omitted. Also, several empty lines will be added before the first relevant row. Please parse it accordingly; e.g., skip empty lines for csv parsing. Request and response example:

CODE
$ curl -H "Authorization: Apikey T/6r47/KrnOPGqrtyI3aP/KAxnUsJBj7PzdkAqpvl6ijegFscT3pPqWf2pVRWSmL" \
https://timesheet-reports-gadgets.tempo.io/api/1/worklog\?start=2017-08-21\&end=2017-08-31\&groups=administrators\&filterOrProjectId=project_DEMO

      }

Running REST API Standalone

It is also possible to run the REST service as a standalone, or embed an underlying worklog extraction script into other services, without installing the add-on. See the jiratime project for source code, and feel free to use it as needed.

Export to CSV

You can pull reports in XLS format or raw data in CSV format with:

  • a link, such as https://timesheet-reports-gadgets.tempo.io/atlassian-connect.json/exportView.xls?start=2018-10-01 or https://timesheet-reports-gadgets.tempo.io/atlassian-connect.json/exportData.csv?start=2018-10-01 with HTTP header "Authorization: Apikey KEY" or with the query parameter "Apikey=KEY"

  • basic authentication, such as Apikey:KEY for username:password.

    The KEY is obtained from the General Configuration Settings.

Examples:

Apikey query parameter in URL:

https://timesheet-reports-gadgets.tempo.io/atlassian-connect.json/exportData.csv?start=2018-10-01&Apikey=T%2F6r47%2FKrnOPGqrtyI3aP%2FKAxnUsJBj7PzdkAqpvl6ijegFscT3pPqWf2pVRWSmL. The Apikey needs to be urlencoded (/, + and = replaced with %2F, %2B a %3D).

Basic authentication (with curl):

CODE
$ curl -u Apikey:T/6r47/KrnOPGqrtyI3aP/KAxnUsJBj7PzdkAqpvl6ijegFscT3pPqWf2pVRWSmL \
    https://timesheet-reports-gadgets.tempo.io/atlassian-connect.json/exportData.csv\?start=2018-10-01

Apikey Authorization header (with curl):

CODE
$ curl -H "Authorization: Apikey T/6r47/KrnOPGqrtyI3aP/KAxnUsJBj7PzdkAqpvl6ijegFscT3pPqWf2pVRWSmL"  \
    https://timesheet-reports-gadgets.tempo.io/atlassian-connect.json/exportData.csv\?start=2018-10-01
