Accessing JetTime Data via API
JetTime relies on Atlassian’s APIs to give you secure access to work logs and their metadata. By leveraging Jira’s robust API ecosystem, JetTime ensures your data remains private and easily accessible.
Retrieving Data and Work Logs via API
You can efficiently retrieve and create work logs, along with the associated metadata stored by JetTime, using Atlassian-provided APIs. Here are the available options:
1. Using the Jira REST API
The preferred method to work with work logs and app metadata is through the Jira REST API, which supports:
- Standard work log fields.
- Custom work log fields and additional metadata tracked by JetTime.
2. Using the Atlassian GraphQL API
The Atlassian GraphQL API is currently in beta and has limited support:
- It does not support working with custom work log properties, which JetTime uses to store additional metadata.
- It can be used to fetch standard work log fields, but is not suitable for scenarios involving advanced JetTime features, such as Manage Others Work Logs.
