How do I retrieve issues of specific status with JQL
jira, jira-rest-java-api, jql
Solution
Use URL encoding on the attributes.
Perhaps use an online tool like this to URL encode your JQL from this:
project = PROJECTKEY AND status = Closed
to get this:
/rest/api/2/search?jql=project%20%3D%20PROJECTKEY%20AND%20status%20%3D%20Closed&fields=id,key,status,project&maxResults=5
The resulting JSON will be all closed issues.
Problem
Entering a url, or running with curl, like: ``` https://<myurl>/rest/api/2/search?jql=project=<myproject>&status=closed&fields=id,key,status,project&maxResults=5 ``` returns me 5 items in my project but with all statuses. For some reason I can't query for a specific status. The output (part of it) is: ``` { "expand": "schema,names", "startAt": 0, "maxResults": 5, "total": 727, "issues": [ { "expand": "editmeta,renderedFields,transitions,changelog,operations", "id": "79577", "self": "https://<myurl>/rest/api/2/issue/79577", "key": "<myproject>-774", "fields": { "project": { "self": "https://<myurl>/rest/api/2/project/<myproject>", "id": "14421", "key": "<myproject>", "name": "<myproject>", "avatarUrls": { (...) } }, "status": { "self": "<myurl>/rest/api/2/status/1", "description": "The issue is open and ready for the assignee to start work on it.", "iconUrl": "https://<myurl>/images/icons/statuses/open.png", "name": "Open", "id": "1" } } },(...) ] } ``` How to query for a given status? Many thanks.
