Hi, I need to fetch the changelog for a specific issue from a Jira On-Prem server. Currently, I’m using the following endpoints: * rest/api/latest/issue/ABC-123/?expand=changelog * rest/api/latest/issue/ABC-123/changelog However, I’m facing two issues: * The first endpoint returns the full changelog. I know the issue ABC-123 has 113 logs, but if the number increases significantly, the API might not return all data. I wanted to apply pagination on expand=changelog, but it doesn’t seem to work. Can anyone guide me on how to paginate this API? * The second endpoint returns a 404 error. I suspect this is due to an older Jira version running on the server, but I don’t have access of server to check the exact version. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Help with Pagination for Jira On-Prem Changelog API

Hi,

I need to fetch the changelog for a specific issue from a Jira On-Prem server. Currently, I’m using the following endpoints:

rest/api/latest/issue/ABC-123/?expand=changelog
rest/api/latest/issue/ABC-123/changelog

However, I’m facing two issues:

The first endpoint returns the full changelog. I know the issue ABC-123 has 113 logs, but if the number increases significantly, the API might not return all data. I wanted to apply pagination on expand=changelog, but it doesn’t seem to work. Can anyone guide me on how to paginate this API?
The second endpoint returns a 404 error. I suspect this is due to an older Jira version running on the server, but I don’t have access of server to check the exact version.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

You can lookup the Jira version with the serverinfo endpoint, then you'll know what version of the REST API documentation you should be reading to learn if the changelog response object for the Get Issue endpoint is subject to pagination.

Also, if you Google 'Jira data center rest api issue changelog' the very first result is the thread that contains the answer as to why you are getting a 404 error when trying to access this endpoint on Jira Data Center:

rest/api/latest/issue/ABC-123/changelog

Thanks, @[deleted]! I understand why I'm getting the 404 error when accessing rest/api/latest/issue/ABC-123/changelog. But is there a way to apply pagination in rest/api/latest/issue/ABC-123/?expand=changelog ?

When you read the documentation for that endpoint, does it say it supports pagination?

@[deleted], Thanks for your response. The documentation doesn’t mention if pagination is supported for this endpoint, which is why I asked. Based on the response format, I see the startAt and maxResults keys under the changelog metadata, so I thought pagination might be possible.

After calling the server info endpoint, I got the version number "9.12.15". Is there a way to retrieve all changelogs in Jira Data Center using any REST API? If an issue has more than 2,000 change logs, how can I fetch the complete data?
