Tutorial: Configure a generic task server
This tutorial describes how to:
Connect to JIRA Cloud as a generic server.
Get the list of issues assigned to you.
For each issue, get its ID, title, description, date and time when the issue was created and updated.
Before you start configuring a connection to your tracker, note that GoLand:
Supports only services with REST API.
Supports either Basic HTTP authentication or sending preliminary requests to the server.
Supports GET and POST requests.
Does not support pagination in server responses.
Specify server URL and credentials
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open settings and then select .
Click
and select Generic.On the General tab, specify the URL of your task tracker and connection credentials.
In the Username field, type your email address.
In the Password field, enter your Atlassian API token.
Select the Use HTTP authentication checkbox at the bottom of the dialog.
Configure the server settings
Switch to the Server Configuration tab.
Note that the Login URL field will be disabled, as you are using HTTP authentication.
In the Tasks List URL, enter the URL for getting issues from the server. You can use variables or enter the full URL:
{serverUrl}/rest/api/2/searchorhttps://serverurl.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/searchThe
{serverUrl}is a variable that stands for the URL you have specified on the General tab.Add the
?jql={JQL_Query}expression to your task list URL:{serverUrl}/rest/api/2/search?jql={JQL_Query}.Click Manage Template Variables at the bottom of the dialog to configure the
JQL_Queryvariable.Click
and in the new field, specify the variable name JQL_Queryand add its valueassignee = currentUser() AND resolution = unresolved.This will let you get unresolved issues assigned to you.

In the Server Configuration dialog, select the JSON response type.
Specify selectors in the table to get IDs and titles of issues and their description. You can also get the date and time when issues were created and updated:
