Issue remote links

Postman Collection
OpenAPI

This resource represents remote issue links, a way of linking Jira to information in other systems. Use it to get, create, update, and delete remote issue links either by ID or global ID. The global ID provides a way of accessing remote issue links using information about the item's remote system host and remote system identifier.

GET

Returns the remote issue links for an issue. When a remote issue link global ID is provided the record with that global ID is returned, otherwise all remote issue links are returned. Where a global ID includes reserved URL characters these must be escaped in the request. For example, pass system=http://www.mycompany.com/support&id=1 as system%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.mycompany.com%2Fsupport%26id%3D1.

This operation requires issue linking to be active.

This operation can be accessed anonymously.
