This connector captures data from Jira's REST API into Flow collections.

It is available for use in the Flow web application. For local development or open-source workflows, ghcr.io/estuary/source-jira-native:dev provides the latest version of the connector as a Docker image. You can also follow the link in your browser to see past image versions.
