JQL issue search different between Python and browser

[Caitlin Walter]

Hey team, I have this query.

created >= -156w AND (due >= -104w OR due = null) AND project = Dashboard ORDER BY key DESC

When I run it in the browser at {mycompany}.atlassian.net/issues/?jql=created >%3D -156w AND (due >%3D -104w OR due %3D null) AND project %3D Dashboard ORDER BY key DESC I get 1828 issues

When I run it in Python, I only get 928 issues. Python code is below.  Why the discrepancy when I copied and pasted the JQL from one to the other?

from jira import JIRA

import re

jiraOptions = {'server': "https://mycompany.atlassian.net"}

jira = JIRA(options = jiraOptions,

            basic_auth = ("myemail",

                          "mytoken"))

issues = []

batch_size = 200

index = 0

while index < 5000:

    issue_batch = jira.search_issues('created >= -156w AND (due >= -104w OR due = null) AND project = Dashboard ORDER BY key DESC', startAt=index, maxResults=batch_size)

    print(f"Issues {index} through {index + batch_size-1}")

    issues.extend(issue_batch)

    index += batch_size

with open ("issues.txt", 'w', encoding='utf-8') as file:

    for issue in issues:

        file.write(f"{issue.key}\n")

It seems you're splitting the result in half because you get more data in maxResult compared to your browser. Your code uses maxResult 200, try using 100 as batchsize and see if you get the same result with the browser.
