Jira API JQL Search for issues -result: only of specific issuetype

KerKla

I'm using the Jira Rest API to get issues a user can access. My goal is to limit the requested issues to the ones I need only. I only need Sub-Tasks which have an issuetype-id of 8.

Is there a possibility to limit the response to only provide issues with this issuetype-id (or name)?

This is my request so far

/rest/api/2/search?jql=assignee=currentuser()&fields=key,id,issuetype,project,subtasks,summary,status

(using Basic Authentication) which is working fine.

The Response looks like this:

{
"expand": "schema,names",
"startAt": 0,
"maxResults": 50,
"total": 42,
"issues": [
{
"expand": "operations,versionedRepresentations,editmeta,changelog,renderedFields",
"id": "---",
"self": "...",
"key": "PROJECT-NR",
"fields": {
"summary": "TaskSummary",
"issuetype": {
"self": ".../rest/api/2/issuetype/8",
"id": "8",
"description": "The sub-task of the issue (IT)",
"iconUrl": "...avatarType=issuetype",
"name": "Sub-Task",
"subtask": true,
"avatarId": 14546
},
"project": {...},
"subtasks": [],
"status": {...}
}
}
},
{[...]

and so on...

Appreciate every help, thank you very much!

Hi,
you can filter your search by issuetype name, not id.

Your request should be:

/rest/api/2/search?jql=assignee=currentuser%28%29%20AND%20issuetype=Sub-task&fields=key,id,issuetype,project,subtasks,summary,status

Unfortunately I still get issues with other types (Task, Test, ...) with this request

Nir Haimov

Did my line worked for you (for Sub-task)?

What is the error you get, it should work for any issue type.
of course if you want to filter multiple issue types at once, it should be:

/rest/api/2/search?jql=assignee=currentuser() AND issuetype in (Sub-task, task, test)&fields=key,id,issuetype,project,subtasks,summary,status

I didn't get an error, I just still get all issues but I only want to get sub-tasks.
I know I could filter them programmatically but I want to increase the performance of my application so I want to limit the results of my requests to what I really need. If there is no solution to do this, I will filter it programmatically but if there is that would be great

/rest/api/2/search?jql=assignee=currentuser()&issuetype=Sub-task&fields=key,id,issuetype,project,subtasks,summary,status

This is the request I sent...

Hi,
for this api you can use below filter for status or type of issue:

rest/api/2/search?jql=issuetype+in+(Bug,+Epic)+AND+status+=+In Progress

and for pagination or improve your performance you can use maxResult and page at end of the url param
