Problem using GET request on "../assignee/search?" REST API in JIRA

[Maximlian Thorand]

Hello,

i'm trying to figure out which users i can assign to my issues that i want to create. Therefore i want to use the GET request "/rest/api/latest/user/assignable/search?key=NAGSWC" and want to store the responseText with the users in a string.

Unfortunately all i get using that command is

"missing parameter 'username' or 'key'" and i can not figure out where the problem is. When i'm posting my request directly into the URL i can see a json string and the users connected to the project.

I also tried substituting the "key" in "/rest/api/latest/user/assignable/search?key=NAGSWC with "projectKey", "project" and so on but nothing works.

The name of the projectkey itself is definitely right though, my other requests like POST do work.

Thanks in advance

It should work if you give the 'project' parameter.

Here's a example using jira.atlassian.com:

https://jira.atlassian.com/rest/api/latest/user/assignable/search?project=SOMETHING

For me, this returns "No project with the provided key exists".

Hello Sam, i figured i used another syntax else where, and that caused the problem!

Thanks!
