how to fetch issues with specific label using JIRA API

Question

Hi There,

I am trying to fetch all the issue keys of a specific project using JIRA python api and below is the code. For example, Can i please know how to fetch the issue keys with a specific label called "server".

url = "https://abcd.com/rest/api/2/search?maxResults=4" 
auth = HTTPBasicAuth("cred, "password)

headers={
"Accept": "application/json",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}

query = {
'jql': 'project = APACHE'
}

projectIssues = []
response=requests.get(url,headers=headers,params=query,auth=auth)
data=response.json()
issues=data["issues"]
for issue in issues:
projectIssues.append(issue["key"])

Thank you

I see I partially misunderstood your initial problem statement. I thought you were trying to use the Python Jira API. You are actually using the JIRA REST API in python code.

The correct link for the JIRA REST API documentation for the issue search function is:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-search/#api-rest-api-3-search-get

Can you provide the full response you are getting? I don't recall exactly where, but I believe somewhere in there will be the full URL that actually got submitted. I suspect that the JQL query is not getting properly appended.

I would also suggest removing the ?maxResults=4 in your first line to see if that makes a difference. Are you intentionally trying to limit the results to just the first 4 items returned?

hi @Trudy P Claspill

What i mean to say is that when i added the labels in the code, it is not generating the issue keys based on labels instead it is provides first four issue keys based on maxResults=4

I am using the below documentation:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-fields/#api-group-issue-fields

url = "https://abcd.com/rest/api/2/search?maxResults=4" 
auth = HTTPBasicAuth("cred, "password)

headers={
"Accept": "application/json",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}

query = {
'jql': 'project = APACHE AND labels = "server'
}

projectIssues = []
response=requests.get(url,headers=headers,params=query,auth=auth)
data=response.json()
issues=data["issues"]
for issue in issues:
projectIssues.append(issue["key"])

What documentation are you referencing for this api? Can you provide a link?
