Add worklog in Jira using Python

 Below is the Python code to add the worklog in Jira. You need to install a request library for this. Here is the code:

import requests

from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

import json

url = "https://your jira address here/rest/api/2/issue/ticket_number/worklog"

auth = HTTPBasicAuth("username", "jira access token")

headers = {

    "Accept": "application/json",

    "Content-Type": "application/json"

}

payload = json.dumps({

    "comment": {

        "content": [

            {

                "content": [

                    {

                        "text": "This is for QA Testing",

                        "type": "text"

                    }

                ],

                "type": "paragraph"

            }

        ],

        "type": "doc",

        "version": 1

    },

    "started": "2024-09-24T12:34:00.000+0000",

    "timeSpentSeconds": 1,

    "visibility": {

        "identifier": "identifier",

        "type": "group"

    }

})

response = requests.request(

    "POST",

    url,

    data=payload,

    headers=headers,

    auth=auth

)

print(json.dumps(json.loads(response.text), sort_keys=True, indent=4, separators=(",", ": ")))
