Get Favorite Filters in Plugin

[Artemy Matvienko]

I want to get the list of the filters that the currently logged in user has access to. If necessary, it can be limited to only favorited filters. I've found this REST API endpoint, but I'm wondering if there is a Java API way of getting a similar list. This class list is a bit difficult to navigate, and the component accessor managers or search service don't seem to have a method like the one I need.

Hi Artemy,

Look please at SearchRequestService class.

Just for my reference, how did you find out that this class does what I need? I actually found that class as well using this way: 

1. Go to the API page
2. Click the INDEX link at the top
3. Search for keywords that would make sense to be in the required function in the format of the Atlassian function names. In my case it was "getFilter".
4. Look through the results to see if a function matches the requirements.
5. use ComponentAccessor.getComponent(SearchRequestService.class) to retrieve the instance so you can use the functions
