REST API Error 400 Bad Request

[Timothy Szczesuil]

I'm working on a Salesforce - Jira integration. On Postman, the following request is successful:

URI: POST: {{baseUrl}}/rest/api/3/search

BODY: 

{

  "jql": "key in (\"BEW-1111\",\"BEW-1112\")",

  "startAt": "0",

  "maxResults": "2",

  "fields": [

    "id",

    "key"

  ]

}

When I try the same request from Salesforce, I get the error:

{"errorMessages":["Invalid request payload. Refer to the REST API documentation and try again."]}

I had success with a similar request in Salesforce using the GET method with the JQL on the URI and an empty body.

So, what's the issue? Why can't I do an API search with the POST method from Salesforce? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @Timothy Szczesuil ,

A very warm welcome to the community. This is Majid @ Exalate. 

Your request looks valid to me. So the issue is the parameters included in the request body. Try to run it using cURL/postman and fine tune your variables. One thing I would like to try is to include the issue keys in single quotes instead of escaping the double quotes. 

Also, I would request you to take a look at Exalate if you want to take the pain out of Jira Salesforce integration. 

Hope it helps. 

Thanks

Majid
