Offset not available in Jira API (/rest/api/3/search/jql)

Question

Hi Team,

We recently noticed that the GET API "/rest/api/3/search" is being deprecated, so we need to migrate to the "/rest/api/3/search/jql" API. However, the documentation does not mention the 'StartAt' offset parameter. Is there a way to use an offset when calling the new API?

@[deleted] Currently in our project, with older API's we were using StartAt and maxResults parameters to implement pagination.  With new API's, without StartAt parameter, additional code needs to be written to implement pagination if we are looking at thousands of jira stories.  Please let me know if my understanding is correct.

However, the documentation does not mention the 'StartAt' offset parameter.

That's because the new Search for Issues using JQL endpoint doesn't use the StartAt parameter, it uses the newer nextPageToken parameter, which definitely IS described in the documentation.
