Jira API: How to filter specific values from changelog histories field

[knarasinghe]

Hi,

When I use the following URL 

https://<company>.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/search?jql=key=<keyname>&expand=changelog

& expand the change logs histories it contains all the change histories and I want to filter specific values (eg: status, labels) from the changelog.histories.items.field

Is there a way to do it from the URL level?

Thanks,

I'm afraid you can't.

Even the dedicated encpoint for changelogs does not support it: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v2/api-group-issues/#api-rest-api-2-issue-issueidorkey-changelog-list-post

So you will have to get all the change logs and filter yourself afterwards if you can. If it's a shell script you could use JQ to parse the json response and keep the elements you really need.
Each language will have its way to do it of course.
