The JIRA API docs are available online. They are most useful for:
- users writing Plugins, Listeners and Services
- users with commercial licenses who wish to modify JIRA
- partners embedding JIRA as a J2EE component
The latest API docs are available at http://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/latest/. The 4.2 docs are available at http://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/4.2/. JDiff reports listing the changes to the JIRA API between releases are available here. For previous versions, substitute the appropriate version in the URL.

Is it possible to download the API documentation as an archive? I am about to get on a flight that might not have Internet access, and I was hoping to fiddle with JIRA plugins while in the air. Thanks!

Hi Maxim,
Sorry, but our Javadocs are currently not available as a download. At some stage in the future when JIRA's build is more in line with other Atlassian products, we'll hopefully have a Maven Javadoc artifact that can be downloaded.
Cheers,
Andreas

The deployment of our javadocs and our JIRA source maven artifacts are both part of the build and release process for JIRA in 4.4 which will be released August 2, 2011. Please do not rely on any "latest" links but instead of "latest" place the version number.
Please Enjoy
Cheers,
Bryce
