Am using Jira cloud, how can I get the issue count for each issue type?

Question

Am not familiar with Rest API. I need this count in a filter so that I could use in dashboard. Appreciate help

Appreciate your answer Branden, however, I could understand how to use your suggestion as  I haven't used Rest API in the past . Any clues appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hi Abdul,

When you perform a search using the /rest/api/2/search endpoint you will get results that have a total such as the following:

{
"expand": "names,schema",
"startAt": 0,
"maxResults": 50,
"total": 1,
"issues": [
{
"expand": "",
"id": "10001",
"self": "http://www.example.com/jira/rest/api/2/issue/10001",
"key": "HSP-1"
}
],
"warningMessages": [
"The value 'splat' does not exist for the field 'Foo'."
]
}

You could extract that value from your queries and use that in your filters.  Hopefully that helps.

Cheers,

Branden
