Label Manager REST API

For a general introduction to Jira's REST API and to find out about different Authentication Methods please read through the Official Atlassian Documentation for Jira's REST APIs.

We recommend you use the Atlassian REST API Browser to explore the API. Make sure you uncheck the option "Show only public APIs" and search for "labelit" .

Getting Labels

Note: for performance reasons all results are limited to 1000 labels. Use the offset method to get results higher than 1000.

URL: <rest-base-url>/labelit/1.0/items

HTTP-METHOD: GET

For specific custom field:

Add parameter "customFieldId" to the URL: <rest-base-url>/labelit/1.0/items?customFieldId=10200

For specific project:

Add parameter "projectId" to the URL: <rest-base-url>/labelit/1.0/items?projectId=1000

Combined:

<rest-base-url>/labelit/1.0/items?projectId=1000&customFieldId=10200

Getting Labels with offset

URL: <rest-base-url>/labelit/1.0/items/offset

HTTP-METHOD: GET

The supported parameters are the same like for getting labels without offset. Additionally the offset can be set. For example:

<rest-base-url>/labelit/1.0/items?projectId=1000&customFieldId=10200&offset=100

Creating Labels

URL: <rest-base-url>/labelit/1.0/items

HTTP-METHOD: POST

HTTP-BODY / Request payload: JSON

Create new global label for customfield with id 10200

{ "name":"mylabel1", "customFieldId":"customfield_10200"}

To find your project id in the user interface follow this knowledge base article from Atlassian.

Change/Rename global label id 22 to "newLabelName" for customfield with id 10200

{ "id":22, "name":"mylabel2", "customFieldId":"customfield_10200"}

Deleteting Labels

URL: <rest-base-url>/labelit/1.0/items/{label-id}
