How to get more than 50 results from Jira rest API?

Shashank Agrawal_2s13cg

Hi, I am trying to retrieve data using JIRA API (/jira/rest/agile/1.0/board) from Java. This API retrieves all the boards (scrum + kanban) in a json response as expected but the problem i am facing is it's only retrieving 50 results which is by default i believe.

Now how do i override this value and get more than 50 results? infact all the results.

I have tried to use maxResult attribute like /jira/rest/agile/1.0/board?maxResults=100 but no success. it still retrieves 50 results.

Can someone help on this. Any help is appreciated.

Hi @Shashank Agrawal

This is a value that can be set in de advanced configuration for Jira. You should search for 'jira.search.views.default.max'.

It is possible however that your query works by setting maxResults to -1 but I'm not sure. Give it a go I'd say, and if that doesn't work, change the value as described above.

Kind regards

PS: You can find the property via

<JIRA BASE URL>/secure/admin/AdvancedApplicationProperties.jspa

@Jorden Van Bogaert I don't want to change the property file and maxResults=-1 didn't work either.

Is there any other way to achieve this?

Hi @Shashank Agrawal

I'm afraid not At least not that I know of...

I was searching for this very question with the Confluence REST API, and came upon this question about Jira. Although I don't know the Jira API, I discovered something through trial and error, that may be relevant to both Confluence and Jira.

There is a hard limit of 100 results, that is (as far as I know) undocumented. You can lower the limit parameter (or maxResults in your case) to get fewer results, but setting it higher never gets you more than 100 results. You have to use pagination to get more results ... keep repeating the search call, incrementing the start parameter by 100 each time.

Furthermore, this limit is reduced to 50 if you are requesting the body in your search results (using the expand parameter).

These hard limits may be configurable in Confluence or Jira, but I haven't explored that.

Hope that helps a little bit.
