Not all Projects Shown with REST API "/rest/api/3/project/search?expand=insight"

[Jesse Ortega Jr]

Hello. I am using REST API "/rest/api/3/project/search?expand=insight" to get a list of projects and their last update but I am only getting 50 out of 180 projects. Is there something that is missing in this REST API?

Hello @Jesse Ortega Jr 

Reviewing the documentation for the endpoint:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-projects/#api-rest-api-3-project-search-get

...that endpoint returns paginated results, and the maxResults parameter by default is set to 50.

You need to call the endpoint multiple times to get all the pages of data. Refer to information in the Pagination section:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/intro/#expansion

You can also try increasing the maxResults parameter and including that in your endpoint call. The pagination section talks about how to find the maximum value that can be used for maxResults for a given endpoint.

Thank you both for your response and help with this. Unfortunately, I'm still facing issues, but the good thing is that I was told this is no longer needed.

The default maxResults is 50 projects, and once should be able to  change parameter to return more results.  After that point, paging must be used with the startAt parameter.  You should  experimenting to increase the parameter for maxResults to see if more can be returned.

Take a look at this documentation -

Hope this helps.

Best, Joseph
