The amount of code required to fetch information from Confluence Cloud and bring it into Jira Cloud is a bit shocking. In a good way.

Here’s the code:

import org.jsoup.*

def authString = "<authstring>"

def fieldConfigsResult = get("https://<url>.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/229377?expand=body.storage")
  .header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
  .header("Authorization", "Basic ${authString}")
  .asObject(Map)

def storage = fieldConfigsResult.body.body.storage.value


return storage

In the end it’s all just REST.  So long as you can authenticate, UNIREST allows us to pretty easily fetch information from other sites.
