Returns requested data to stdout in JSON format. For +the list of available options see ``jira-ds.py --help``. + +This script is basically a wrapper around ``jira-ds.js``, so those two files +shouldn't be separated. Requires `CasperJS <http://casperjs.org/>`_ and +`PhantomJS <http://phantomjs.org/>`_ installed somewhere in your path (we +suggest using `npm <http://nodejs.org/>`_ for that). + +Before you start using them, remember to fill in ``JIRA_CREDENTIALS`` and +``JIRA_BASE_URL`` (in ``jira-ds.py``) as well as ``url_jira`` and +``url_jira_login`` (in ``jira-ds.js``) with the your JIRA credentials, location +of your JIRA instance and its login page. + +Tested with JIRA 6.1.x. + + +``client_code_example.py`` +-------------------------- + +Simple Python script targeted to novice users serving as an example how to glue +together three steps: fetching data, processing it and then sending it to the +tile.
