How to Post JIRA Issue Using C#/SharePoint/asp.net

Using the JIRA web service API,  you can use the POST REST method and submit an issue to a project.

View fields available in your environment when creating an Improvement type issue with project name PRJT:

https://xxx.jira.com/rest/api/2/issue/createmeta?projectKeys=PRJT&issuetypeNames=Improvement&expand=projects.issuetypes.fields
Make sure and replace xxx and/or the domain with your JIRA instance.  This will show you all fields that can be managed through the web service.



Create asp.net 4.5 Console Application Project in Visual Studio 2012.

Download NuGet Packages:

• Json.NET

• Microsoft HTTP Client Libraries



Here is the C# code:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Net.Http.Headers;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Newtonsoft.Json;


namespace ConsoleApplication5

    public class Issue
    {
        public Fields fields { get; set; }
        public Issue()
        {
            fields = new Fields();
        }
    }

    public class Fields
    {
        public Project project { get; set; }
        public string summary { get; set; }
        public string description { get; set; }
        public IssueType issuetype { get; set; }
        public Fields()
        {
            project = new Project();
            issuetype = new IssueType();
        }
    }

    public class Project
    {
        public string key { get; set; }
    }

    public class IssueType

            data.fields.summary = "test";
            data.fields.description = "test";
            data.fields.issuetype.name = "Improvement";
           
            string postUrl = "https://xxx.jira.com/rest/api/latest/";

            byte[] cred = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("user:password");
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", Convert.ToBase64String(cred));
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new System.Net.Http.Headers.MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));

            System.Net.Http.Formatting.MediaTypeFormatter jsonFormatter = new System.Net.Http.Formatting.JsonMediaTypeFormatter();

            //System.Net.Http.HttpContent content = new System.Net.Http.ObjectContent<string>(data, jsonFormatter);

            System.Net.Http.HttpResponseMessage response = client.PostAsync("issue", content).Result;
          
            if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
            {
                string result = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
                Console.Write(result);
            }
            else
            {
                Console.Write(response.StatusCode.ToString());
                Console.ReadLine();
            }

        }
