Looking for Jira API endpoint documentation and Python implementation help

I’m trying to build a Python wrapper for Jira’s API but I’m having trouble finding the right information. I know there’s a SOAP interface available, but I can’t locate proper Python method definitions anywhere online. The Java documentation was much easier to find.

What I’m specifically looking for:

  • Available API endpoints for common operations like fetching tickets and user data
  • Response format details (XML, JSON, etc.)
  • Python-specific implementation examples or documentation

I’ve searched through the official docs but they seem incomplete for Python developers. Has anyone successfully created a Python client for Jira’s SOAP or XML-RPC services? Any guidance on where to find proper API specifications would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

if ur lookin for api docs, check out jira’s rest api. it’s way user-friendly compared to soap, and you’ll find loads of examples online. the python-jira pkg is super helpful too. way simpler than using soap. trust me, it’ll make ur life easier!
