REST API search giving 400 Bad request

Jira Development
#1

Any request I do to /search/ gives the error 400 Bad request.

I’ve tried:

  • rest/api/2/search?jql=project=CLONESUP
  • rest/api/2/search?jql=project%20=%20clonesup
  • rest/api/2/search

And a lot of variations urlencoded and not urlencoded. All give “Bad request”.

#2

That’s kinda odd, how are you trying to make this requests?

#3

Javascipt. All other requests work, but search does not.

#4

ill try to check tomorrow, but one thing u might try is to add, mb it will help idk) / before any of those rest/api/2/search?jql=project=CLONESUP so that /rest/api/2/search?jql=project=CLONESUP just in case :smiley:
but now i think that doesn’t matter, since u get 400 error code, anyway, ill try to see myself if i can do the same

#5

I only copy/pasted the relevant part. Full call is https://entityone.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/search?jql=project=CLONESUP :slight_smile:

#6

Solved it by using POST instead of GET. The GET should have worked too if I understand the documentation correctly.

#7

the GET will work but you’ll have to url encode the = in the value part of the query string.
