how do I get some properties on inner fields via Jira REST API?

Fateme Mirzaei

Hello!

when we search issues via Jira rest APIs with this query:

curl \
-u [username]:[password] \
-X GET \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
'https://[hostname]/rest/api/2/search?jql=created>"2021-01-01"+order+by+created&fields=id,key,issuetype,assignee,created' | python3 -mjson.tool;

it will return an object like this:

{

"expand": "schema,names",

"startAt": 0,

"maxResults": 50,

"total": 552,

"issues": [

 {

"expand": "operations,versionedRepresentations,editmeta,changelog,renderedFields",

"id": "15064",

"self": "https://[hostname]/rest/api/2/issue/15064",

"key": "TEST-2051",

"fields": {

"issuetype": {

"self": "https://[hostname]/rest/api/2/issuetype/10002",

"id": "10002",

"description": "A task that needs to be done.",

"iconUrl": "https://[hostname]/secure/viewavatar?size=xsmall&avatarId=10318&avatarType=issuetype",

"name": "Task",

"subtask": false,

"avatarId": 10318

 },

"created": "2022-04-20T13:11:55.000+0430",

"assignee": {

"self": "https://[hostname]/rest/api/2/user?username=username",

"name": "name",

"key": "key",

"emailAddress": "mail@gmail.com",

"avatarUrls": {

"48x48": "https://[hostname]/secure/useravatar?ownerId=key&avatarId=10601",

"24x24": "https://[hostname]/secure/useravatar?size=small&ownerId=key&avatarId=10601",

"16x16": "https://[hostname]/secure/useravatar?size=xsmall&ownerId=key&avatarId=10601",

"32x32": "https://[hostname]/secure/useravatar?size=medium&ownerId=key&avatarId=10601"

 },

"displayName": "displayName",

"active": true,

"timeZone": "Asia/Tehran"

 }

 }

 }

 ],

"names": {

"issuetype": "Issue Type",

"created": "Created",

"assignee": "Assignee"

 }

}

but I do not need to have detailed data about the assignee, I don't need avatarUrls, mail, and some other extras, I just need to get displayName, what should I do?

 

thank you in advance

Hi @Fateme Mirzaei 

 

It is not possible to limit this. When you get issue via REST API Jira return all data about issue.

After when you get response you can grep data that you want but this are additional steps.
