Looking for a C# solution to interact with JIRA

I’m in the middle of setting up JIRA for our team and I need to connect to its API. Does anyone here know if there’s a ready-made C# library that works with JIRA’s SOAP API? I’d rather not reinvent the wheel if there’s already something out there.

I’ve been searching online but haven’t found anything solid yet. If you’ve used something like this before or have any recommendations, I’d really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance!

// Example of what I'm hoping to do:
using JiraApiWrapper;

var jiraClient = new JiraClient("https://our-jira-instance.com");
var issue = jiraClient.CreateIssue("PROJECT", "Bug", "API integration not working");
Console.WriteLine($"Created issue: {issue.Key}");

This is just a rough idea. I’m open to any suggestions on how to approach this.

I’ve had success using RestSharp in combination with JIRA’s REST API. While it’s not a dedicated JIRA library, it’s versatile for HTTP requests and JSON parsing. You’ll need to handle the API endpoints yourself, but it offers more flexibility. Here’s a basic example:

var client = new RestClient("https://your-jira-instance.com/rest/api/2");
var request = new RestRequest("issue", Method.POST);
request.AddJsonBody(new { fields = new { project = new { key = "PROJECT" }, summary = "API test", issuetype = new { name = "Bug" } } });
var response = client.Execute(request);

This approach requires more setup but gives you full control over the API interactions. Remember to handle authentication and error cases appropriately.

hey there! i’ve used Atlassian.SDK for JIRA integration before. it’s pretty solid and handles most API calls. just install it via NuGet and you’re good to go. it might not cover everything, but it’s a great starting point. good luck with your project!

As someone who’s been in your shoes, I’d recommend checking out Atlassian.NET SDK. It’s a robust library that’s saved me countless hours when working with JIRA’s API. The documentation is pretty comprehensive, and it supports both SOAP and REST APIs.

Here’s a quick snippet to give you an idea:

var jira = Jira.CreateRestClient("https://your-jira.atlassian.net", "your_username", "your_api_token");
var issue = jira.CreateIssue("PROJECT", "Bug");
issue.Summary = "API integration not working";
issue.SaveChanges();
Console.WriteLine($"Created issue: {issue.Key}");

It’s not perfect - you might hit some limitations with complex queries or custom fields. But for most use cases, it’s a solid choice that’ll get you up and running quickly. Just remember to keep your API usage in check to avoid rate limiting issues.
