Explore creating report for bug count by Jira project ID and by issuuetype with name as "Bug"

Question

HI Team, I need help with finding bugs by project id and by using issuetype which is having name as "Bug".

My response looks like this :

"expand": "operations,versionedRepresentations,editmeta,changelog,renderedFields",
"id": "*****",
"self": "*****",
"key": "****",
"fields": {
"issuetype": {
"self": "url",
"id": "*****",
"description": "Created by Jira Software - do not edit or delete. Issue type for a user story.",
"iconUrl": "https://jira.ascension.org/secure/viewavatar?size=xsmall&avatarId=****&avatarType=issuetype",
"name": "Bug",
"subtask": false,
"avatarId": 10315
}}, how to get response only for Bug as name in issuetype.

Are you trying to execute this API call within a program? Can you show us the full line of code?

Is "projectId" a variable that you are trying to use?

You should be able to use the same parameter string that you would see in the browser URL field if you did a search through the UI.

What I need exactly for the response having those records with issuetype with name as "Bug" only., not all records.

I'm trying with above url to search by project id and issuetype with name as "Bug", but name is lying inside issuetype which inturn reside in fields.

Need to find a way to search by using project id and issuetype with name as "Bug" in url query params or if any other way, please suggest .
