Search API with JQL is not returning the attachments

[sadhana_chittibabu]

Hi 

I am trying to retrieve the issues those are returned by JQL using search API,

https://intelligenceapp.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/search 

Method : Post

Post data: 

{

    "jql":"project = 'xxx' and issuetype='xx'

}

however that returns all the fields except the attachment field.

But I am able to view the attachment 
https://intelligenceapp.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/{{key }} API.

Could anyone tell me what's wrong with this.

Note: I have added the Attachment fields in Field configuration and screen as well

If I remember correctly you need to explicitly specify the fields for this to work. Try adding

fields=attachment

to your request.

Best,

yes, that works for me but since I am getting JQL result as a response I wanted to get the attachment for all the issues the API returns.

To acheive that currently I am looping the response and requesting the retrieve issue API by specifying the fields=attachment the params which is time consuming.

It would be better if I can get the attachment while requesting the below API
