How to add pagination to Search Issues ( picker ) API?

Raghav Mishra_chnjg5

We're using an API to search Issues on Jira, (Get issue picker suggestion).
The response is somewhat like this: 

Response: 

"sections":[
 {
   "label":"History Search",
   "sub":"Showing 2 of 2 matching issues",
   "id":"hs",
   "issues":[
   {issue_1 and details},
   {issue_2 and details}
  ]
 }
 ]

 

I want to implement Pagination for the issues i'm receiving. I tried adding startAt and maxResults value in query params, but the result does not change and gives me a non paged response. 

Is there anyway I can limit my values with pagination

Hello Raghav. Not all the REST API endpoints return the results in a paginated format, only those whose operation could potentially produce a very large number of results.

The /rest/api/3/issue/picker is one of the endpoints that does not return the results in paginated format, so defining the startAt and maxResults parameters has no effect. You will have to manage the results returned in your code.
