How to get JIRA Agile issues assigned to the current sprint for the current user using the JIRA REST API?

Question

I'm getting started working with the JIRA REST API. I've learned how to get all the issues assigned to the current user:

rest/api/2/search?jql=assignee=currentuser()

...now I am trying to filter those by the current sprint. I think this functionality is provided by the JIRA Agile (Greenhopper) plugin, but I can't find any documentation for it. I came across some interesting data which appears to be the identifier for the sprint that the issue is assigned to:

customfield_10005: [
  "com.atlassian.greenhopper.service.sprint.Sprint@3094f872[rapidViewId=30,state=CLOSED,name=Sprint 2014-06-02,startDate=2014-06-02T00:00:37.672-07:00,endDate=2014-06-08T11:59:00.000-07:00,completeDate=2014-06-09T10:23:13.983-07:00,id=45]"
]

...but it just looks like a serialized mess. How can I query for the issues assigned to the current sprint?

I have never worked with jira agile, but maybe you could use this as a starting point? confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/… – Tautomer

Answer 1

The method you are looking for is

openSprints()

Its only working with JIRA Agile Version 6.5 or higher.

//* EDIT: Greenhopper got renamed to JIRA Agile *//

The method definition is:

Search for issues that are assigned to a Sprint which has not yet been completed. (Note that it is possible for an issue to belong to both a completed Sprint(s) and an incomplete Sprint(s).)

So this should work for you then

assignee in (currentUser()) AND sprint in openSprints()

So use the REST API resource that lets you run a search and use the openSprints() as part of the JQL passed to the search – Feld

so adjust your answer like "This is a two way process: first, define a filter ... then second make a rest call that uses that filter ... " or "Use the rest API call search and inside the parameter jql, use ..." – Bolte

@Bolte "Use the rest API call search and inside the parameter jql, use ..." the OP already has that part in his Question, or am I totally fuzzy right now? – Svend

The devil is in the details. We have made some experiences with the JIRA REST API the past 6 months, and sometimes, there are some subtleties that have to be made explicit. So what is the syntax to use your query "assignee in ..." inside the REST API call? – Bolte

@Bolte as in my Answer jql=assignee%20in(currentUser())AND%20sprint%20in%20openSprints() – Svend
