Need guidance on web request / JSON

[vaibhavtandon87]

Hi Team,

I need your guidance to fetch information from JIRA tool by Atlassian . Currently the automation project is setup in UIPath tool using webscrapping to fetch information basis the filters.
I have searched web and there are API’s available for the same.

As i have not used web request or JSON feature previously I wanted to explore if I can get the same data using Easymorph?

If yes i would need guidance how to set up the connector for the same and subsequent steps?

I would suggest starting with this article:

Making your data better with web APIs

If you’re reading this article it’s safe to assume that you already have experience of working with data coming from spreadsheets, text files, and possibly, databases. What might be new for you is dealing with data from so called web (REST) APIs. Web APIs can be extremely helpful because they can provide valuable information that doesn’t exist in your corporate systems. Just a few examples of information/services web APIs can provide: Public holidays Exchange rates Address validation Language …

In version 5.7, we've added native support for Jira - a connector and 2 actions for importing data from Jira and for updating Jira issues.
