Using JQL in APIs

[Scott Derderian]

Is there a way to limit the number of columns (via JSON) returned from an API call that utilizes JQL (asing for a friend)......

I work with a BI developer and we are starting to think that this may be causing slowness in fetching large datasets.

Please let me know.  TIA!

Which version and which endpoint are you using?

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/9.4.0/#api/2/search-search

The above documentation talks about a fields parameter that you can use to specify the fields to be returned in the results.
