According to the Atlassian documentation (https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-search/#api-group-issue-search),the "/rest/api/3/search" endpoint is now deprecated. I’m migrating to the JQL-based version "/rest/api/3/search/jql", but I noticed that the total field is no longer included in the response.
/rest/api/3/search"
/rest/api/3/search/jql"
total
I came across a suggestion to set maxResults=0 (see https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/find-the-total-number-of-work-items-in-jira-cloud-using-jql-or-issue-search-1319567658.html), but when I try that I get an error saying maxResults must be between 1 and 5000.
maxResults=0
maxResults
So how can I retrieve the total number of items for a search?
Hi @Cedric Moncade -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!
Please try the endpoint for Count Issues Using JQL:

Kind regards,Bill
Hi @Cedric Moncade
To save a bit of time. You need a POST and send that body. Put the JQL in between the "".
and thanks @Bill Sheboy !!

I am feeling so stupid, I was on this page all the afternoon and I didn't see it.Thank you both of you @Bill Sheboy @Aaron Pavez _ServiceRocket_
No worries, @Cedric Moncade -- We are all learning and the endpoint docs do not always make it simple to search for things we want.
