Update status in Jira ticket

I have a python script for Jira integration. I create a ticket using API. I am able to update different fields in Jira ticket, but I am unable to update status in Jira via API. Do we have a field for that? Below is the code for creating issue.

execution_key = create_update_issue("ProjectName",summary,description,"Test Execution",)

In Jira status may be a field but it is not changing directly. You can change status via transitions.

You can use Rest API's POST request to the /rest/api/2/issue/{issueKey}/transitions endpoint with a suitable transition id.

curl -u username:password -X POST --data '{"transition":{"id":"11"}}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://jira/rest/api/2/issue/TEST-1/transitions

You can find a valid transition id from the GET /rest/api/2/issue/{issueKey} endpoint or you can check the workflow details in Jira UI.
