A web app that exposes a public REST API for Jira Cloud agile metrics (velocity, burndown, sprint scope) so third-party tools and internal dashboards can consume them without scraping

Jira Cloud's GreenHopper/agile API endpoints for velocity charts and burndown data do not work on Cloud and have no supported public REST replacement. Teams that want to pipe sprint velocity into Looker, Metabase, or custom engineering health dashboards must manually copy data or use unofficial scraping. The Jira feature request JRACLOUD-96617 (Nov 2025) documents 340+ impacted customers across three report types and has 161 votes in 'gathering interest' status. The older sprint report export request (JSWCLOUD-6135) dates from 2012 and has 401 votes still unresolved. Marketplace apps like Sprint Health Analyzer require Jira admins to install them, cannot be consumed by external BI tools, and expose no API themselves. The product: a hosted proxy service where teams authenticate via Jira OAuth, and the service scrapes/caches the private GreenHopper endpoints (the way apps do today) and exposes them as a clean documented REST or GraphQL API with OpenAPI spec. External BI tools, custom dashboards, and CI pipelines can query it. Subscription per workspace. Differentiated from Marketplace apps by being BI-tool agnostic and API-first rather than dashboard-locked.

Product Idea from this Signal

A web app and API service that computes Jira agile metrics from the issue API and exposes velocity, burndown, and sprint report data via stable developer-facing endpoints

822 โ–ฒ

Jira's agile reports (velocity chart, burndown chart, sprint report) are locked inside the UI. The underlying REST API has no stable public endpoints for this data: the only available hooks are undocumented Greenhopper legacy routes that are capped at 12 sprints, subject to removal, and return raw event streams that teams must manually parse and compute into actual metrics. Third-party reporting tools like eazyBI, Custom Charts, and Great Gadgets are dashboard products, not API services; they output PDFs and PNGs, not JSON. There is no hosted service a developer can point at and get back structured velocity numbers, burndown series, or sprint completion rates for use in a CI/CD gate, a BI tool, a Slack bot, or an executive dashboard. This product sits between Jira and the rest of the toolchain: it authenticates to a team's Jira workspace via OAuth, continuously syncs issue-level data using the fully supported issue search and sprint APIs, computes the agile metrics that Atlassian only shows in the UI, and re-exposes them through a clean versioned REST API. Teams get stable, queryable endpoints for velocity per sprint, planned vs completed story points, burndown series, cycle time distributions, and scope change deltas, all without touching an undocumented endpoint or writing a custom ETL job. The business model is API seat licensing: a free tier for small teams (1 board, 6-month history) and paid tiers per board or per seat for data retention, webhook delivery, and higher refresh rates.

Gap Assessment

Wide OpenNo dedicated solution exists

JRACLOUD-96617 has 161 votes from Nov 2025 with 340+ declared impacted customers, gathering interest. JSWCLOUD-6135 has 401 votes from 2012, still open. Marketplace apps fill the dashboard gap but not the programmatic API gap. No credible third party ships a Jira Cloud agile metrics API proxy for BI consumption.
