Get list of watched issues via API

[Joe Mallon]

I'm trying to get a list of watched issues for a user via a JQL search in an API call. The URL with call is:

https://ala-jira-prod.wrs.com/rest/api/latest/search?fields=*none&jql=watcher+=+currentUser()&maxResults=100&startAt=0

The user submitting the API call has over 7000 watched issues, but the API call returns only 1 issue, which is being watched by the user.

When I run the same URL in the browser, it returns all 7000+.

Why does this work in a browser, but not via script?

Hello,

The search endpoint should return the same issues as in Jira. Make sure that you connect under the same user in Jira and while executing the search rest endpoint

100% the problem. I was connecting as a different user. Thanks for the advice.
