This is the reference document for the REST API and resources provided by Jira Service Management Data Center. The REST APIs are for developers who want to integrate Jira Service Management Data Center with other applications, and for administrators who want to script configuration interactions with Jira Service Management Data Center.

In the versions before Jira Service Management Data Center 10.0, the REST APIs of Jira Core and Jira Service Management Data Center were published independently. The documentation of previous versions of REST APIs is available at:

Jira Core 9.17 | Jira Service Management 5.17

Jira Core 9.12 | Jira Service Management 5.12

If you want instructions on how to use the REST APIs, check out the information on the following topics:

• Structure of the REST URIs
• Authentication
• Expansion
• Special headers
• Field input formats

Methods marked as EXPERIMENTAL may change without notice. We are looking for your feedback for these methods. To use experimental methods, you must set this header in your requests: X-ExperimentalApi : true. This indicates that you are opting into the experimental preview. Once a resource or method moves out of the experimental phase, then this header will no longer be required nor checked.
