Jira JQL API

This resource represents JQL search auto-complete details. Use it to obtain JQL search auto-complete data and suggestions for use in programmatic construction of queries or custom query builders. It also provides operations to: * convert one or more JQL queries with user identifiers (username or user key) to equivalent JQLqueries with account IDs. * convert readable details in one or more JQL queries to IDs where a user doesn't have permissionto view the entity whose details are readable.

Jira JQL API is one of 132 APIs that Jira publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

Tagged areas include JQL. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, authentication docs, and an API reference.

This API exposes 6 operations across 5 paths, and defines 34 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.2.0, at version 1001.0.0-SNAPSHOT-82b018affa468e58f284fbe4df33536469d757df.

Requests are made against a single base URL, https://your-domain.atlassian.net.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Jira JQL API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
