REST data sources
This article describes REST data source configuration and usage in the Table Grid Next Generation for Jira Cloud.
The Data source type is REST. We support only JSON for processing data.
You can access remote REST API using data sources in the grid.

Add a Data source
Navigate to Apps in your Jira Cloud administration and locate Table Grid configuration dashboard. Add a new data source under the Data Sources tab.
REST will be automatically selected for Datasource Type
Available fields:
Name - name of your data source connection
Description - optional description of the data source for your reference. It will be displayed below the title in the Data source list. It's useful in case you want to specify
URL - URL address of the web service you want to connect to the grid.
Authorization - defines how the system authenticates with the web service (None or Basic Authentication).
Headers - allows adding header fields. You can use them in case the data source requires HTTP authentication.
Method - supports GET and POST methods.
If you select POST, two default key–value pairs will be automatically added to help you connect to the data source more easily.
You can test a connection to the data source using a Test Connection button.
