Jama Connect Best-in-Class API for Creating Interoperability Across Your Development Toolchain for Live Traceability™

Siloed data creates significant roadblocks for businesses. Isolated information across teams and systems obstructs collaboration and slows critical decision-making. Open APIs provide a solution to this problem by enabling interoperability between compliant software.

Jama Connect features a best-in-class REST API for connecting to any other REST-compliant software or system. Our API is the basis of the many prebuilt integrations available from Jama Software & our partners.

What makes Jama Connect API the best- in-class

  • Accessible: Anyone with a Creator license can utilize the REST API – at no additional cost and no charges based on number of API calls.
  • Performant: Each Jama Connect Cloud instance allows up to 36,000 calls per hour/over 26 million calls per month, significantly more than other large SaaS providers.
  • Reliable: Industry standard best practices, such as API throttling, maintain system stability for consistent and reliable performance with minimal latency.
  • Comprehensive: We provide documentation accessible through Swagger UI, code snippet examples, and training from Jama Software’s services team who are experts in using the API.

Using the Jama Connect API

There are many ways to benefit from the Jama Connect API. Here are several examples:

  • Reporting: Automate the retrieval of project data for reporting purposes. By making GET requests to the API’s/projects endpoint, users can fetch detailed information about all projects within their Jama Connect instance. This data can then be integrated into business intelligence tools for real-time tracking of project progress, resource allocation, and key milestones.
  • Data & Trace Synchronization: Automate the synchronization of requirements and their trace relationships between Jama Connect and other REST-based tools for Live TraceabilityTM. This can be particularly useful for organizations that need to ensure alignment between their requirements management system and their development tracking tools. By leveraging the API, users can create scripts to push updated requirements and their traces from Jama Connect into their development platform or pull issue statuses back into Jama Connect.
  • Test Results Import: Automate the import of test results into Jama Connect. This ensures precise control, real-time updates, and integration with third-party test tools and related workflows for more efficient and reliable verification of new and changes to requirements.
