how to create an issue in jira via rest api?

Question

Is it possible to create an issue in jira using REST api? I didn't find this in the documentation (no POST for issues), but I suspect it's possible.

A wget or curl example would be nice.

Answer 1

POST to this URL

https://<JIRA_HOST>/rest/api/2/issue/ 

This data:

{ "fields": {    "project":    {        "key": "<PROJECT_KEY>"    },    "summary": "REST EXAMPLE",    "description": "Creating an issue via REST API",    "issuetype": {       "name": "Bug"    }   } } 

In received answer will be ID and key of your ISSUE:

{"id":"83336","key":"PROJECT_KEY-4","self":"https://<JIRA_HOST>/rest/api/2/issue/83336"} 

Don't forget about authorization. I used HTTP-Basic one.
