How can I format my syntax to properly Curl for more MaxResults with REST API

[Matt Kimball]

Good Day all,

I have two curl commands I am using in my scripts. One references a static filter directly and the other inserts dynamic JQL during run time. 

1. Accessing Static Filter

curl -s -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://jira.*.com:8080/rest/api/2/search?jql=filter=55102^&fields=id,key,issuetype,customfield_10613,customfield_10200,customfield_10030^&maxResults=500

 2. Dynamic JQL search

curl -D- -u *:* -X POST -d "<LotsOfJQL>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://jira.*.com:8080/rest/api/2/search"

 Both of these above commands work! And with the first command i am getting over 200 results so I know the maxResults=500 is working. However, when I try adding ^&maxResults=500 to the end of my 2nd script, I don't get any errors but the maxResults is still 50 and isn't changed.

How can I format my syntax properly with my Dynamic search so maxResults will be recognized?

I appreciate your time and responses. Thank you.

Hi @Matt Kimball ,

could it be, that you should add ?maxResults=500 instead of &maxResults=500? Because in the second case it is the first parameter.

I've tried this aswell, no luck

@Matt Kimball Please look at this page to the section Searching for issues using POST, there is a nice example.

You should be able to see in response, whether the param maxResults was changed or not.

Thank you for your assistance Hana! I found the answer in there. Here is what I'm using now that works.

curl -D- -u *:* -X POST -d "{\"jql\": \"'Remedy CRQ ' = '1169017'\",\"maxResults\":500,\"fields\":[\"key\"]}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://jira.*.com:8080/rest/api/2/search?

I have tried this command :

curl -o jira.out -u "user:token" -s -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://url/rest/api/2/search?jql=filter=<filter>

and it produces output, but in the far does not look like what I would have expected, which is similar to running the filter in my browser and export as CSV (selected fields).

Am I missing something?

Thanks.
