Get all comments of multiple issues by rest

Steffen Stamprath

Is there a way to get all the comments of many issues. In the Cloud via REST.
So the comments themselves and the number of comments.

I know it works with JQL and JIRA expressions. But there are some tradeoffs there:
- We might get blocked if there are too many requests (https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rate-limiting/)
- Maximum 10 or 100 issues per request (Very slow by many issues)

Has anyone any experience with this?
Is there another API available?

Thank you very much!

Hi @Steffen Stamprath I don't think it is possible. THe only documentation for comments REST API is https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-comments/#api-group-issue-comments

So you can get comments for ONE issue or for MANY IDs.

I suggest you to

get issues using JQL (https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-search/#api-rest-api-3-search-get)
- you can get key and comment only when you use fields property
parse comment IDs from previous response
use comment IDs with endpoint https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-comments/#api-rest-api-3-comment-list-post

When I get the comments by the search api, why I should call the comment-list api? I already have then my comments.

Yeah, you are right. I just woke up when I was replying, sorry
