jira SOAP and XMLRPC

Question

I was wondering if there are urls for the various calls that can be made to jira. get issues, get users. what format are they in xml? json?

I want to write a wrapper class in python. I see the SOAP api exsists but no methods definitions in python anywhere I can find. I found the java one fairly easy.

Your help is appreciated.

Please and thank you.

Answer 1

the Atlassian site has samples right on it.

using SOAP client to interact with Jira:

and using xml-rpc to interact with Jira:

also check out the documentation they have for the API:

Please take a look at this: http://blog.sophilabs.com/2011/08/overcoming-jira-3-13-x-remote-access-limitations-part-ii/

This is a good alternative to put up with JIRA RPC limitations.
