How to get issues updated after certain date using api ?

[Amol Gunjal]

I am trying to get all the issues in project X updated after date Y. I have trued below api but it does not respect the passed date and returns default 50 issues.

baseurl/rest/api/2/search?jql=project=X&fields=updated&updated>2023-03-09

Here is what worked for me :

String url = "baseurl/rest/api/2/search?jql=project=X AND updated>='2023-03-09 10:10'";

String query = URLEncoder.encode(url, StandardCharsets.UTF_8.toString());

And then get result for the above url.

The end point won't work because of the ampersands after project.

You currently have:

?jql=project=X&fields=updated&updated>2023-03-09

What you should have is:

?jql=project=X%20and%20updated%20>%202023-03-09

The "Search for issues using JQL (GET) end point specifies that the value after jql should just be a proper JQL query.

The way I would generate the query in the first place is to run the JQL in the UI, and then copy the portion of the URL containing the query.
