Accessing JIRA APIs through KDB

[LearnerKDB]

I want to create a Q script that will compare tables from various sources and attach results to a Jira ticket in the form of text file. 

Number of files to be compared are around 25. I have script which can compare tables. But not sure how to access JIRA APIs.

Please help.

Kdb+ does have inbuilt HTTP functions for GET (.Q.hg)   and POST (.Q.hp)

These blog posts may be of interest:

•  Server-as-a-Function: Providing RESTful JSON APIs in q - KX 
• Creating a REST API powered by kdb+/q

Another option would be to use embedPy.

You can use it to expose Python functions to q

• Web Scraping - A Kdb+ Use case - KX - (Related code: abin-saju/qblog)

When data is returned as JSON you can use .j.k to deserialize
