API error

[Addakula Sri Sai Venkata Lalitha Yasonadh Yashwanth]

RuntimeError: POST https://xxxxxx.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/search/jql failed [400]: {'errorMessages': ['Invalid request payload. Refer
to the REST API documentation and try again.']}
Stuck on this error. Any thoughts or inputs on this?

Hello,

Welcome to community :) 

We have edited the url from the post as it would be visible to all 

As per the error Jira rejected the JSON body shape itself, not the JQL.
So it’s almost certainly one of:

• Wrong JSON structure for the new /search/jql endpoint

• Invalid / non‑JSON body 

• Missing required field in the body

Could you please let us know what are you trying to post using api?

Thank you

Prachi

I am trying to get the custom field values and its context for a project, it was throwing an error using get, so used POST for this.

Welcome @Addakula Sri Sai Venkata Lalitha Yasonadh Yashwanth 

Error message appears to be legit referring that your payload is invalid. What is the body of your request? What were you trying to do with the request?

[Addakula Sri Sai Venkata Lalitha Yasonadh Yashwanth]

    payload = {

            "jql": f"project={project_key}",

            "startAt": start_at,

            "maxResults": MAX_RESULTS,

        }

Payload shape required by the API:

    { "queries": [ { "jql": "...", "startAt": 0, "maxResults": 50, "fields": ["..."] } ] }

    Response shape:

    { "responses": [ { "issues": [...], "total": 123, "startAt": 0, "maxResults": 50 } ] }

I am trying to get the custom field values and its context for a project, it was throwing an error using get, so used POST for this. I have used these.
