# Draft a Jira issue from an item

`POST https://api.markdrop.in/api/v1/jira/draft`

The AI draft of an issue (summary, description, issue type, priority, assignee, due date, labels) from an item on a page (`slug` with `block`, `offset` or `selection`) or a Team line (`fact_id`), with the projects, issue types, priorities and people to pick from. Creates nothing. When AI can't run, the draft is the item as written (`ai: false`, `note` says why). Needs your own Atlassian connection (409 otherwise).

- **Authentication:** API token required: `Authorization: Bearer mdk_…`.
- **Rate limit:** 30 per minute per IP address.
- **Guide:** [Jira](https://docs.markdrop.in/integrations/jira)

## Request body

`application/json`, required.

- `slug` (string): Matches `^[A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,64}$`.
- `block` (string): Matches `^b-[0-9A-Za-z_-]{1,40}$`.
- `offset` (integer): From 0 to 5,000,000.
- `selection` (string): Up to 5,000 characters.
- `fact_id` (string): Matches `^[0-9a-f]{24}$`.
- `project` (string): Up to 20 characters.

## Responses

- `200`: OK.
- `401`: No token, or the token is revoked or mistyped.
- `422`: The request didn't validate. `detail` lists each problem, with where it is (`loc`) and why (`msg`).
- `429`: Too many requests from your IP address. Wait the seconds in `Retry-After`.
