Limit on the number of JIRA rest API calls

Mikhaela Francesca Pachico March 6, 2018

I'm doing an application that requires nested API calls on JIRA's rest API. When I initially start the application it gets the correct data but after a bunch of reruns it displays an error message saying that it refuses to connect to the server. So does JIRA have a limit on the number of calls that I can have ? Currently I have 3 APIs that are nested calls then each are going through a loop.

There is no limit on the number of calls. Maybe the calls are throttled due to the server being unresponsive.

The root cause can be a lot of things - high CPU, high memory usage, reaching the allowed thread count and so on. You will have to do some monitoring to see what is going on.
