How to query specific information for an issue?

I'm trying to use JIRA python api to receive the list of tickets that have been raised in the last 30 days but whenever i run

Issue = main.jira.issue("PLAT-38592")
i = main.jira.issue(issue, "Summary")
print(i)

All that gets returned is

PLAT-38592

Then i try to poke at the issue

Issue = main.jira.issue("PLAT-38592")
print (Issue)

And all that gets returned is

PLAT-38592

I need to be able receive information from this ticket but it only returns a string

Solution

  • Issues are objects. You can access their content by accessing fields.

    If you for example want to access the summary, you can use (according to the docs):

    issue = jira.issue('PLAT-38592', fields='summary')
summary = issue.fields.summary
print(summary)
