Communicate with the Atlassian API's quickly and easily with the go-atlassian module. With the go-atlassian client, you can retrieve and manipulate the extensive Atlassian Cloud API's like Jira, Confluence, Jira Agile, Jira Service Management, Atlassian Admin and much more!.

If you find an endpoint not supported, please submit a pull request or raise a feature issue - it's always greatly appreciated.

Installation

If you do not have Go installed yet, you can find installation instructions here. Please note that the package requires Go version 1.13 or later for module support.

To pull the most recent version of go-atlassian, use go get.

go get github.com/ctreminiom/go-atlassian

Then import the package into your project as you normally would. You can import the following packages

Package	import path
Jira v2	github.com/ctreminiom/go-atlassian/jira/v2
Jira v3	github.com/ctreminiom/go-atlassian/jira/v3
Jira Agile	github.com/ctreminiom/go-atlassian/jira/agile
Jira ITSM	github.com/ctreminiom/go-atlassian/jira/sm
Confluence	github.com/ctreminiom/go-atlassian/confluence
Cloud Admin	github.com/ctreminiom/go-atlassian/admin

Now you're ready to Go.

🧳 Creating A Client

Before using the go-atlassian package, you need to have an Atlassian API key. If you do not have a key yet, you can sign up here.

Create a client with your instance host and access token to start communicating with the Atlassian API's.

instance, err := confluence.New(nil, "INSTANCE_HOST")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

instance.Auth.SetBasicAuth("YOUR_CLIENT_MAIL", "YOUR_APP_ACCESS_TOKEN")

If you need to use a preconfigured HTTP client, simply pass its address to the New function.

transport := http.Transport{
	Proxy: http.ProxyFromEnvironment,
	Dial: (&net.Dialer{
		// Modify the time to wait for a connection to establish
		Timeout:   1 * time.Second,
		KeepAlive: 30 * time.Second,
	}).Dial,
	TLSHandshakeTimeout: 10 * time.Second,
}

client := http.Client{
	Transport: &transport,
	Timeout:   4 * time.Second,
}

instance, err := confluence.New(&client, "INSTANCE_HOST")
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

instance.Auth.SetBasicAuth("YOUR_CLIENT_MAIL", "YOUR_APP_ACCESS_TOKEN")

🗺️ Services

The client contains a distinct service for working with each of the Atlassian API's endpoints. Each service has a set of service functions that make specific API calls to their respective endpoint.

To start communicating with the go-atlassian, choose a service and call its service function. Take the Jira service for example.

To get the issue with the transitions, use the Issue service function.

ctx := context.Background()
issueKey := "KP-2"
expand := []string{"transitions"}

issue, response, err := atlassian.Issue.Get(ctx,issueKey, nil, expand)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

log.Println(issue.Key)

for _, transition := range issue.Transitions {
	log.Println(transition.Name, transition.ID, transition.To.ID, transition.HasScreen)
}

To search issues using a JQL query, use the Issue.Search service function.

var (
	jql    = "order by created DESC"
	fields = []string{"status"}
	expand = []string{"changelog", "renderedFields", "names", "schema", "transitions", "operations", "editmeta"}
)

issues, response, err := atlassian.Issue.Search.Post(context.Background(), jql, fields, expand, 0, 50, "")
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

log.Println("HTTP Endpoint Used", response.Endpoint)
log.Println(issues.Total)

The rest of the service functions work much the same way; they are concise and behave as you would expect. The documentation contains several examples on how to use each service function.

💡 Inspiration

The project was created with the purpose to provide a unique point to provide an interface for interacting with Atlassian products. This module is highly inspired by the Go library https://github.com/andygrunwald/go-jira but focused on Cloud solutions.
