Which are the possible cases of HTTP status code 400 for the search issue API with the correct jql

Question

Hi, We've encountered problems with the following scenario:* Making a POST request to rest/api/3/search.
* The request body contains {jql: "id in (1,2,3)"}.
* This request occasionally works, but sometimes it fails with a 400 error. Could you please help us understand the likely reason for this inconsistency?

Furthermore, we haven't specified any sorting order in the JQL. Does this omission affect pagination in any way? And what is the default sort order when order by is not defined in the request?

Hi @AutomationUIUser ,

I just noticed that you used the below in your body (as per the main query):

{jql: "id in (1,2,3)"}

you will have to put the key in double quotes, correct query is as below :

{
    "jql": "id in (1,2,3)"
}

Do let us know if the this helps.

Can you share an image of the actual query and body?

Will try to reproduce it at my end then.

Hi,

Our query does not involve the double quotes
