Jira API v3 Get Issues assigned to a version.

[Chris Raver]

I've been using the Atlassian Jira API's for years to generate reports for my development team. Last week the API's stopped working. It looks like API v2 was deprecated and I don't see an API v3 that gives us what we need. I'm trying to get a list of all issues assigned to a version in Jira.

Hi @Chris Raver 

Please try using the v3 work item search endpoint with JQL for your version, and adding the field you want in the results:

Kind regards,
Bill

I've tried using the search API and can't seem to get issues by fixVersion. I either get a 400 or 410 response.  This API change is so frustrating and if I can't get our reports working again this weekend I'll be migrating away from Atlassian next week.

I recommend first writing an example JQL expression with a sample Fix Version to confirm it works as expected inside of Jira.  Then try that as a hardcoded JQL to confirm the call works for the endpoint.  Finally, improve that to use a dynamic JQL with your versions.

I haven't found a screen in Jira where I can filter by fixVersion. There are a few screens that return a list of items but those don't filter by fixVersion and don't use their API's to return the list of issues.

First, I recommend pausing to review how to search for work items with JQL:

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/use-advanced-search-with-jira-query-language-jql/

Next within Jira, you may use Filters > Search Work Items to enter a JQL query.  For example:

project = myProject AND fixVersion = "my version name" ORDER BY Key ASC

Once you have your query as needed, then proceed to use that in your endpoint testing.

Hi @Chris Raver ,

In the last days Atlassian has switched off some rest API, mainly for searching work types.

You can find the new API for search by jql here: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-search/#api-rest-api-3-search-jql-get 

Kind regards

I haven't been able to get a list of issues by fixVersion using the jql search api.
