Need Help with JQL Query!!

[Tejaswi Gangurde]

Hello There!!

I am trying to get list of issues filtered by issue type by making rest api call. uri works for me on postman is https://jira.comapnyname.net/rest/api/latest/search?jql=issuetype=outage AND (createdDate>=startOfMonth(-1) AND createdDate<startOfMonth()).

When I try to pass the same url through api call, it says illegal character. I tried replacing the spaces with %20 as '

"search?jql=issuetype=outage%20AND%20(createdDate>=startOfMonth(-1)%20AND%20createdDate<startOfMonth())"

but still same issue. Please do let me know how can I pass jql query through restapi call.

Thanks

Dear @Tejaswi Gangurde,

in Java I use this function for URL encoding to UTF-8:

protected String encodeMsg(String message) {
 try {
 return URLEncoder.encode(message,"UTF-8");
 } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
 String msg = "UnsupportedOperationException: " + e.getMessage();
 logger.error(msg);
 throw new RuntimeException(msg);
 }
}

'message' is the JQL.

Hope that helps ...

So long

Thomas
