Download Jira Cloud Attachments into directories named after issue keys

downloadbykey.sh

#!/bin/bash
# Minor update to https://gist.github.com/darryllee/22ea98ccf639c303813a3ad4a2ad3480 ,
# which is in turn a minor update to https://bitbucket.org/snippets/atlassiansupportprojects/nedyBb/download-files-attached-to-the-issues
# * Gets issue key in addition to download URL
# * Downloads attachments into directories created for each issue key
# * Maintains original filenames
#
# Usage:
#   chmod u+x ./downloadbykey.sh
#   ./downloadbykey.sh

# 1. Issue your API Token at https://id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens
# 2. Install "jq" command and add it to your bash's PATH https://stedolan.github.io/jq/
# 3. Modify the JQL below (at minimum change 'SK' to your actual project key)
# 4. Update maxResults and/or startAt to suit your needs; it may be necessary to break into smaller chunks for large projects.
#    My results were truncated at 100, so I had to re-run with startAt: 100, startAt: 200, etc.
#    "The maximum allowable [maxResults] value is dictated by the JIRA property 'jira.search.views.default.max'. If you specify a value that is higher than this number, your search results will be truncated."
#    However, that property doesn't appear to be readable by my user account in Jira cloud.
