Jira Software Cloud REST API throws 404 errors on items that exist

Piotr Mierzejewski

Hey,

I've been experimenting with Jira Software Cloud REST API a bit lately.

When I query '/rest/agile/1.0/board/1/epic' I get all my epics displayed correctly. They all contain 'self' URL, e.g. '/rest/agile/1.0/epic/10000' (alongside id, key, and summary). When I try to access that URL I get the following response:

{
 "errorMessages": [
   "The requested epic cannot be viewed because it either does not exist or you do not have permission to view it."
 ],
 "errors": {}
}

The epic definitely exists and I do have access to it though, because the previous ('/board') query displayed it just fine! I get the same response when I try to access issues in the epic ('/rest/agile/1.0/epic/10000/issue').

Is there anything I missed here? According to the documentation both endpoints require same permissions scope, so if one of them works the other should too.

I'll be grateful for any tips!

Cheers,

Piotr

Hi @Piotr Mierzejewski if you want to get the info from an Epic better to use regular GET for an issue (as an epic is an issue itself)

/rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey}

Cheers,
