REST API for issues under current sprint

Question

Is there a single REST API call I can make to get all issues under the active sprint? In our "issue" objects the sprint ID is given under customfield_10021 , however I can't use that in my JQL string. I'm also unable to use something like sprint in activeSprints() as "sprint" isn't a field on the issue objects.

Do I have to get all issues in the current Sprint by querying the Sprint url, instead of the issue url ?

@Bill Sheboy ah ok gotcha, thank you! I was using activeSprints() instead of openSprints() , and wasn't getting any results, so using openSprints() fixed my issue. thank you!

And the "why" is I'm writing a small Python utility where I can get a list of a user's issues in the current active sprint, and allow them to create sub-tasks under those issues (for progress-report purposes).

Thanks again!

If you know the project, only one call is needed: the first one I noted with a JQL search with

project = yourProjectName AND sprint IN openSprints()

As described here: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/jql-functions/#openSprints--

And if you have an example issue, you have the project as it is an attribute of the issue.

Backing up a bit: what problem are you trying to solve by doing this?  That is, "why do this?"  That context may help a bit.  Thanks!

Hi @Bill Sheboy, so the main question above was, "Is there a single REST API call I can make to get all issues under the active sprint?" From your reply, it looks like the answer is "no" and that I will need to make at least 2 REST calls - (1) to get the active Sprint ID, and (2) to get all issues under that active Sprint ID. In the second part of my post I tried to elaborate on my issue but I didn't give much detail and think all I did was add confusion lol :D  Thank you!
