Sprintr

sprintr is a minimal R wrapper of the Jira and Jira Software REST APIs. Convenience functions with object parsing are available for retrieving sprint and velocity information. Bring the power of #rstats to your sprint reporting!

Installation

devtools::install_github("davidski/sprintr")

Set the base url to your Jira API endpoint via the JIRA_API_URL environment variable (typically via .Renviron).

variable	purpose
JIRA_API_URL	endpoint of the Jira API (ex. https://yourdomain.atlassian.net)

Atlassian Cloud Authentication

For Atlassian cloud installations, obtain a token via id.atlassian.net and set the JIRA_API_KEY and JIRA_USER environment variables.

variable	purpose
JIRA_API_KEY	API token obtained via id.atlassian.net
JIRA_USER	username (ex. youraccount@example.com)

Jira Server Authentication

My available versions of Jira Server do not support the same API as Jira Cloud. While sprintr aims for the lowest common denominator, there may be unexpected differences when operating on a Jira Server endpoint. Bug reports and PRs are very welcome!

To authenticate to Jira Server, you can use either use basic authentication or OAuth1.0 authentication. Basic authentication, while simpler, is not recommended and is provided only for local testing. Basic authentication will send your credentials unencrypted (apart from any HTTPS in use) across the network.

Basic Authentication

variable	purpose
JIRA_USER	username (ex. youraccount@example.com)
JIRA_TOKEN	password

OAuth1.0 Authentication

Jira’s server edition uses signed OAuth 1.0 authentication. You, or your Jira server administrator, will need to create an OAuth endpoint. This endpoint should specify a return url of http://localhost:1410. As part of the setup process, your administrator will generate an OAuth consumer secret (short text string), a shared secret (short text string), and a private key (a long PEM-formatted key). The private key should be stored in a secure location on your installation of sprintr. Configure the following environment variables:

variable	purpose
JIRA_USER	OAuth Consumer Secret
JIRA_API_KEY	Oauth Shared Secret
JIRA_OAUTH_SSL_KEY	full path to a PEM encoded private key

Usage

Full docs are coming…

library(tidyverse)
library(sprintr)

# find the Story Point field identifier for your environment
find_story_point_mapping()

# find the ID of the board of interest
get_boards() %>% head(1) %>% pull(id) -> my_board

# pull up details on a board
get_board_details(board_id = my_board)

# identify the sprint of interest
get_all_sprints(board_id = my_board) %>% arrange(desc(endDate)) %>% 
  head(1) %>% pull(id) -> my_sprint

# get a sprint report
sprint_report <- get_sprint_report(sprint_id = my_sprint)
# the report has quite a bit of info, for raw story point totals
sprint_report$points_sum

# pull up details on a specific issue
get_issue(issue_key = "XXX-1234")
# or see all the fields on that issue
get_issue("XXX-1234", full_response = TRUE)

# find all the epics associated with a board
get_epics(board_id = my_board)

# the main personal motivation of this package
sprint_report_detail <- get_sprint_report_detail(board_id = my_board, sprint_id = my_sprint)
# do ggplot stuff!
