Solved: JIRA REST API - how do I get columns from a filter

Question

Hello !

so i am trying to get all the columns inside a filter using GET method but i dont know why its  not working :

for example i  want to get all the jira requests that are finished the filter id is : -5  so i am using :

"myhostnameUrl"/jira/rest/api/3/filter/-5/columns

my view URL is something like : http://"myhostnameUrl"/browse/DSUP?filter=-5

what am i doing wrong ?

Thanks !

Filters do not have negative numbers for their ids, so -5 looks wrong to me.  I'd take a closer look at your url, and get the actual filter id (it's most likely to be a 5 digit positive number)

done fixed it for any one out there looking for an answer

the right command is :

https://"yourhostname"/jira/rest/api/2/filter/"the id of your filter "/

to get columns you must set your filter to listview  and then :

https://"yourhostname"/jira/rest/api/2/filter/"the id of your filter "/columns

hope it helped someone out there
