boolean in API search using post

[Deleted user]

I looked at the API docs and it shows how to get issues by project for a post to search endpoint, but I didnt see any more complex jql examples I am looking to use the following for the search endpoint.

project=stuff AND labels in (stuff, morestuff)

but dont know how the body needs to be formatted. Could only get it working if I used project only and excluded everything else

Ok figured it out will answer my own question the JQL section in the body is the jql as a string example

payload = {'jql': 'project = STUFF AND labels in (Stuff,MoreStuff)'}
