Rest API maxResults Problem

[Mert Can Polat]

Hello,

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-custom-field-options/#api-rest-api-3-field-fieldid-context-contextid-option-get

I m using this api endpoint for getting custom field option list. End point taking maxResults parameter for result count. This parameter default setting 100. I set maxResults to 1000 but api giving max 100 result. API not giving result higher then 100. How can solve this problem?

Dear @Mert Can Polat ,

The issue you are facing with the Atlassian JIRA REST API, specifically when trying to retrieve more than 100 results for custom field option list, is a common limitation set by many APIs to ensure performance and stability. In this case, even though you are setting maxResults to 1000, the API itself has a hard limit of 100 results per request.

To solve this problem, you will need to implement pagination in your API requests. Pagination involves making multiple requests to the API, each time retrieving a subset of the total results, until you have retrieved all the data you need. The JIRA API provides parameters such as startAt for this purpose.
