querying sprint issues gets different results

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to build an App that shows all the issues in a sprint plus sone extra issues. While researching for the best way to request the issues I found, that different queries deliver different results

1. using the agile-API:

.../rest/agile/1.0/board/282/sprint/745/issue

gets 24 issues in the sprint.This result looks Ok

2. using search-API

.../rest/api/2/search/?jqlQuery=sprint+%3D+754

gets 50 issues out of 28450 total

this is definitely wrong

3. using the standard search with the same JQL query

.../issues/?jql=sprint %3D 754

finds 23 issues

which result is right and how can I tweak the second (search via rest API) to deliver the correct result?

Thanks Warren!

the *jql* parameter did the trick.

With that correction, I get 24 issues from the first and 33 from the second and third request. But those are numbers I can deal with.

Many thanks again,

Hartmut

Hi Nic

You're probably correct, I was confused by the .../issues/?jql= bit of 3.

Just typing Sprint=xxx into the Issues search returns exactly the same number for me, so that would mean that I'm getting all three returning the same number of issues.

@Hartmut Boekhoff, over to you now

I think in 3, Hartmut means that "sprint = 754" has been typed into the search box in the UI.  It should return the same as 1 (and your corrected 2), but if it does not, then we should compare the different results to have a look at the issue that appears in one search and not the other.
