Replacement string for Browser Search URLs after API update to JQL enhanced Search

[Peter Saulesleja]

I need to update my browser to call the new API's for issue searching in Jira.

There are many articles that give "https://<your-Jira-site>/secure/QuickSearch.jspa?searchString=%s" for the browser search shortcut to alias to "jira" or in my case "j".

I also have a JQL shortcut aliased in my browser search bars to "jql"

Now, I am getting notice of a deprecation, and want to change to the new API.
The Jira Cloud platform REST API

What would the new https: calls be for the new API?

Hello @Peter Saulesleja 

The API endpoints are shown directly in the REST API link you included in your post.

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

The difference is subtle

old: /rest/api/3/search?jql

new: /rest/api/3/search/jql?jql

In the old API endpoint "jql" was itself a parameter of /search. The new endpoint has added /jql as part of the endpoint after which the ?jql parameter is added.

I'm not sure if I've answered your question. If not, please don't hesitate to provide more information about your scenario and maybe I can try again.

Thank you, that is very helpful, and probably very obvious to a SW developer.

You're welcome! Glad I could help.
