Jira is well-known team planning and management application. Thousands of companies using Jira to assign work and team activities. Jira provides facilities to add the plugin as per your requirement.Jira Tempo Plugin (commonly referred to as Tempo Timesheets, Tempo Planner, or Tempo Budgets) is a powerful suite of add-ons for Atlassian Jira that helps teams with time tracking, resource planning, and financial management. It’s widely used by agile teams, project managers, and finance departments.

Here’s a breakdown of the main Jira Tempo plugins:

Tempo Timesheets

1. Log time manually or through calendar integrations.
2. View and approve timesheets.
3. Generate reports based on billable vs. non-billable hours.
4. Track time against Jira issues, projects, or accounts.
5. Integration with Google Calendar, Outlook, and mobile apps.

Tempo Planner

1. Plan team workload and capacity.
2. Visualize resource allocation in calendar views.
3. Align planning with Jira projects and issues.
4. Forecast future resource needs.

Tempo Budgets (Now part of Cost Tracker)

1. Monitor costs and budgets.
2. Track CapEx vs. OpEx.
3. Forecast financial performance.
4. Integrate with logged work from Tempo Timesheets.

Tempo Restful API builds in Java. We have built Jira Class inPHP to use Tempo restful APIs.

Steps for connecting Jira tempo rest API with PHP

1. Make sure CURL is enabled in your server or php.ini file (PHP has phpinfo function to check server setting). Check curl is working with below php code.

function isCurlInstalled() {  if  (in_array  ('curl', get_loaded_extensions())) {    return true;   } else {    return false;   }}if (isCurlInstalled()) {  echo "installed";} else {  echo "NOT installed";}

2. Create Jira Class (You can create as per your convenient), 3 Private method and CURL functions to connect Jira

class Jira {    private static $url = "http://192.168.0.59/";// Jira Tempo URL setup in API TOKEN    private static $credential = 'ezeelivetechnologies:test123';// Jira Username and Password    private static $tempoApiToken = '15ezeelive-7f3f-40f2-a95f-4521918ba183';// Jira Tempo Token Key    // Static function to Get Data    private static function getCURL($rest_url, $https = FALSE, $return_format = FALSE, $full_url = FALSE) {        $ch = curl_init();        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);        if (empty($full_url))            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, Jira::$url . $rest_url);        else            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $rest_url);        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, Jira::$credential);        if (!empty($https)) {            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, 3);            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);        }        if (!empty($return_format) && $return_format == 'json')            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);        $data = curl_exec($ch);        curl_close($ch);        return $data;    }    // Static function to POST Data    private static function postCURL($rest_url, $data = FALSE, $https = FALSE, $return_format = FALSE) {        $ch = curl_init();        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, Jira::$url . $rest_url);        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, Jira::$credential);        if (!empty($https)) {            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, 3);            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);        }        if (!empty($return_format) && $return_format == 'json')            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);        if (!empty($data))            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);        $data = curl_exec($ch);        curl_close($ch);        return $data;    }    public static function getAllJiraProjectsKey() {        $return_data = array();        $rest_url = "rest/api/2/project";        $data = Jira::getCURL($rest_url, FALSE, $return_format = 'json');        if (!empty($data)) {            $data = json_decode($data, TRUE);            foreach ($data as $k => $dt) {                $return_data[] = $dt['key'];            }        }        return $return_data;    }    //......    //......}

3. Now its time to get all the User list associated with Your Jira Project

   public static function getJiraProjectUsers($proj_key) {        $return_data = array();        $rest_url = "rest/api/2/project/{$proj_key}/role";        $data = Jira::getCURL($rest_url, FALSE, $return_format = 'json');        if (!empty($data)) {            $data = json_decode($data, TRUE);            foreach ($data as $k => $dt) {                if (!is_array($dt)) {                    $role_data = json_decode(Jira::getCURL($dt, FALSE, $return_format = 'json', TRUE), true);                    if (!empty($role_data['actors'])) {                        foreach ($role_data['actors'] as $v) {                            if(!empty($v['displayName'])){                     $return_data[] = array(                        'disp_name' => $v['displayName'],                        'uid' => !empty($v['id']) ?$v['id']:'',                        'jira_auth' => $jauth,                        'usr_name' => $v['name'],                        'rates' => $rates,                        'bill_ty' => $bill_type                    );                            }                        }                    }                }            }        }        return $return_data;    }

4. Once we get all the Associated details from Jira Project. We can get all the Worklog by Jira User or Project Key.

  public static function getJiraUserWorklogs($jiraUserName,$fromDate,$toDate) {// By Jira UserName        $return_data = array();        $rest_url = "plugins/servlet/tempo-getWorklog/?addUserDetails=true&dateFrom={$data['sdate']}&dateTo={$data['edate']}&format=xml&diffOnly=false&tempoApiToken=" . Jira::$tempoApiToken . "&addIssueDetails=true&userName={$jiraUserName}";$return_data = Jira::getCURL($rest_url);        return $return_data;    }     public static function getJiraProjectWorklogs($prjkey,$fromDate,$toDate) {// By Jira Project Key        $return_data = array();        $rest_url = "plugins/servlet/tempo-getWorklog/?addUserDetails=true&dateFrom={$data['sdate']}&dateTo={$data['edate']}&format=xml&diffOnly=false&tempoApiToken=" . Jira::$tempoApiToken . "&addIssueDetails=true&projectKey={$prjkey}";$return_data = Jira::getCURL($rest_url);        return $return_data;    }

5. Final the complete class looks like

class Jira {    private static $url = "http://192.168.0.59/";// Tempo URL setup in API TOKEN    private static $credential = 'ezeelivetechnologies:test123';// Jira Username and Password    private static $tempoApiToken = '15ezeelive-7f3f-40f2-a95f-4521918ba183';// Tempo Token Key    // Static function to Get Data    private static function getCURL($rest_url, $https = FALSE, $return_format = FALSE, $full_url = FALSE) {        $ch = curl_init();        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);        if (empty($full_url))            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, Jira::$url . $rest_url);        else            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $rest_url);        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, Jira::$credential);        if (!empty($https)) {            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, 3);            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);        }        if (!empty($return_format) && $return_format == 'json')            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);        $data = curl_exec($ch);        curl_close($ch);        return $data;    }    // Static function to POST Data    private static function postCURL($rest_url, $data = FALSE, $https = FALSE, $return_format = FALSE) {        $ch = curl_init();        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, Jira::$url . $rest_url);        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, Jira::$credential);        if (!empty($https)) {            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, 3);            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);        }        if (!empty($return_format) && $return_format == 'json')            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);        if (!empty($data))            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);        $data = curl_exec($ch);        curl_close($ch);        return $data;    }    public static function getAllJiraProjectsKey() {        $return_data = array();        $rest_url = "rest/api/2/project";        $data = Jira::getCURL($rest_url, FALSE, $return_format = 'json');        if (!empty($data)) {            $data = json_decode($data, TRUE);            foreach ($data as $k => $dt) {                $return_data[] = $dt['key'];            }        }        return $return_data;    }    public static function getJiraProjectUsers($proj_key) {        $return_data = array();        $rest_url = "rest/api/2/project/{$proj_key}/role";        $data = Jira::getCURL($rest_url, FALSE, $return_format = 'json');        if (!empty($data)) {            $data = json_decode($data, TRUE);            foreach ($data as $k => $dt) {                if (!is_array($dt)) {                    $role_data = json_decode(Jira::getCURL($dt, FALSE, $return_format = 'json', TRUE), true);                    if (!empty($role_data['actors'])) {                        foreach ($role_data['actors'] as $v) {                            if(!empty($v['displayName'])){                     $return_data[] = array(                        'disp_name' => $v['displayName'],                        'uid' => !empty($v['id']) ?$v['id']:'',                        'jira_auth' => $jauth,                        'usr_name' => $v['name'],                        'rates' => $rates,                        'bill_ty' => $bill_type                    );                            }                        }                    }                }            }        }        return $return_data;    }    public static function getJiraUserWorklogs($jiraUserName,$fromDate,$toDate) {// By Jira UserName        $return_data = array();        $rest_url = "plugins/servlet/tempo-getWorklog/?addUserDetails=true&dateFrom={$data['sdate']}&dateTo={$data['edate']}&format=xml&diffOnly=false&tempoApiToken=" .
