Using API "Search for issues using JQL (GET)" (GET /rest/api/3/search)

There is an issue in the response of the above-mentioned API, it returns a certain number of fields which has been named as "customfield" 

So it would be really helpful if you provide the mapping for the same with the name that can be helpful to understand the response whether its an epic, story, bug or so on for any of the possibilities.

Examples :

 "customfield_10060": null,
"customfield_10061": null,
"customfield_10062": null,
"customfield_10063": null,
"customfield_10064": null,
"customfield_10065": null,
"customfield_10066": null,

"fields_customfield_10000":{pullrequest={dataType=pullrequest, state=MERGED, stateCount=1}, json={"cachedValue":{"errors":[],"summary":{"pullrequest":{"overall":{"count":1,"lastUpdated":"2020-09-15T21:10:31.000+0530","stateCount":1,"state":"MERGED","dataType":"pullrequest","open":false},"byInstanceType":{"GitHub":{"count":1,"name":"GitHub"}}}}},"isStale":true}}

"fields_customfield_10010" :[{'id': 304, 'name': 'Sprint 52', 'state': 'active', 'boardId': 2, 'goal': '', 'startDate': '2020-09-08T05:26:09.089Z', 'endDate': '2020-09-21T05:26:00.000Z'}]

Thanks in advance, looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi @shreya garg ,

If you take a closer look at your output data (not the snippet data you posted above), you should see this section:

"issuetype": 
{
  "self": "https://yourjira.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issuetype/10000",
  "id": "10000",
  "description": "A big user story that needs to be broken down. Created by Jira Software - do not edit or delete.",
  "iconUrl": "https://your.atlassian.net/images/icons/issuetypes/epic.svg",
  "name": "Epic",
  "subtask": false
},

But if you are only looking for epics, you might use this endpoint: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-search/#api-rest-api-3-search-get

 Where you can specify a JQL: issuetype = Epic
