How do i get the issues from a filter in my java code using rest api?

[Sameeksha Shetty]

I'm trying to get the issues in a list or collection by passing a filter through my code.

I found some examples of this using JqlQueryBuilder but I'm unable to find the maven dependency for its use. Is there another method? Or maybe by passing a jql query?

@Sameeksha Shetty  Welcome to the community!

You need to use

com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.search.SearchService

which is part of Jira plugin API (in com.atlassian.jira:jira-api)

Here is a sample using this,

Query query = "YOUR_STRING_JQL";

SearchService searchService = 
    ComponentAccessor.getComponent(SearchService.class);

// Here is user is user in context or user who want to access
SearchService.ParseResult parseResult = searchService.parseQuery(user, query);

if (parseResult.isValid()) {

    SearchResults results = searchService.search(user, parseResult.getQuery(),
                                PageFilter.getUnlimitedFilter());
    
    List<Issue> issues = results.getIssues(); //here is your desired result
}

Thanks a lot. Do you know which maven  dependency works for this?

@Sameeksha Shetty  As I have mentioned earlier, this is part of, com.atlassian.jira:jira-api

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.atlassian.jira</groupId>
  <artifactId>jira-api</artifactId>
  <version>${jira.version}</version>
  <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
