Atlassian Python API wrapper

What is it?

The atlassian-python-api library provides a simple and convenient way to interact with Atlassian products (such as Jira Service management, Jira Software, Confluence, Bitbucket and apps Insight, X-Ray) using Python. It is based on the official REST APIs of these products, as well as additional private methods and protocols (such as xml+rpc and raw HTTP requests). This library can be used to automate tasks, integrate with other tools and systems, and build custom applications that interact with Atlassian products. It supports a wide range of Atlassian products, including Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, StatusPage and others, and is compatible with both Atlassian Server and Cloud instances.

Overall, the atlassian-python-api is a useful tool for Python developers who want to work with Atlassian products. It is well-documented and actively maintained, and provides a convenient way to access the full range of functionality offered by the Atlassian REST APIs and made with love for Atlassian.

Here's a short example of how to create a Confluence page:

fromatlassianimportConfluenceimportrequests# If you want to use a session, you can create it like this:session=requests.Session()
# and pass it to the Confluence constructorconfluence=Confluence(
url='http://localhost:8090',
username='admin',
password='admin',
session=session,)
status=confluence.create_page(
space='DEMO',
title='This is the title',
body='This is the body. You can use <strong>HTML tags</strong>!')
print(status)

Please, note Confluence Cloud need to be used via token parameter. And here's another example of how to get issues from Jira using JQL Query:

fromatlassianimportJiraimportrequestssession=requests.Session()
jira=Jira(
url='http://localhost:8080',
username='admin',
password='admin',
session=session) # Optional: use a session for persistent connectionsJQL='project = DEMO AND status IN ("To Do", "In Progress") ORDER BY issuekey'data=jira.jql(JQL)
print(data)

The traditional jql method is deprecated for Jira Cloud users, as Atlassian has transitioned to a nextPageToken-based pagination approach instead of startAt. Use enhanced_jql for improved performance and future compatibility.

fromatlassianimportJiraimportrequestssession=requests.Session()
jira=Jira(
url='https://your-jira-instance.atlassian.net',
username='your-email@example.com',
password='your-api-token',
cloud=True, # Ensure this is set to True for Jira Cloudsession=session# Optional: use a session for persistent connections
)
JQL='project = DEMO AND status IN ("To Do", "In Progress") ORDER BY issuekey'# Fetch issues using the new enhanced_jql methoddata=jira.enhanced_jql(JQL)
print(data)

Also, you can use the Bitbucket module e.g. for getting project list

fromatlassianimportBitbucketimportrequestssession=requests.Session()
bitbucket=Bitbucket(
url='http://localhost:7990',
username='admin',
password='admin',
session=session)
data=bitbucket.project_list()
print(data)

Now you can use the Jira Service Desk module. See docs. Example to get your requests:

fromatlassianimportServiceDeskimportrequestssd=ServiceDesk(
url='http://localhost:7990',
username='admin',
password='admin',
session=requests.Session())
data=sd.get_my_customer_requests()
print(data)

Using Insight (CMDB Tool for Jira):

fromatlassianimportInsightimportrequestssession=requests.Session()
insight=Insight(
url='http://localhost:7990',
username='admin',
password='admin',
session=session)
data=insight.get_object(88)
print(data)

Using Xray (Test Management tool for Jira):

fromatlassianimportXrayimportrequestssession=requests.Session()
xr=Xray(
url='http://localhost:7990',
username='admin',
password='admin',
session=session)
data=xr.get_tests('TEST-001')
print(data)

Using Bamboo:

fromatlassianimportBambooimportrequestssession=requests.Session()
bamboo=Bamboo(
url='http://localhost:6990/bamboo/',
token="<TOKEN>",
session=session)
data=bamboo.get_elastic_configurations()
print(data)

If you want to see the response in pretty print format JSON. Feel free for use construction like:

frompprintimportpprint# you code here# and then print using pprint(result) instead of print(result)pprint(response)
