I am getting 404 error for rest api on JIRA to search an user accountID

Question

I want to test the rest api of jira and fetch user accountID from jira.

So I used the below url

url: 'https://domain.atlassian.com/rest/api/2/user/search%3Fquery=myuser@domain.com'

But I am getting 404 ,

req: {
method: 'GET',
body: undefined,
url: '***/rest/api/2/user/search%3Fquery=myuser@domain.com'
},

@Hana Kučerová Hi sorry for the delayed response:

I am using this:

async getAccountID (useremail) {
return this.fetch('getAccountID', {
pathname: `/rest/api/2/user/search?query=${useremail}`,
}, {
method: 'GET',
})
}

Hi @Ujala Singh ,

I suspect this code

const url = format({
    host: host || this.baseUrl,
    pathname,
    query,
})

is causing it.

I believe you don't have your variables in getAccountID correct, see here. Probably it should be something like:

pathname: `/rest/api/2/user/search`
query: `query=${useremail}`

Hi @Hana Kučerová , I am using that only here. While running the github action, it's encoding it, not sure why.
