Search for issue with keywords using the REST API

[Mohamed Amine Ben Slama]

Is there a REST end point that simulates typing keywords on the quick search field ?

Dear @Mohamed Amine Ben Slama,

this will be technically not possible due to the nature of a REST interface. The mechanism in the UI, when you type the beginning of a known keyword, is realized with jQuery. Therefore the back-end is called after each change and delivers new results, without a page reload.

A Jira REST call works different. Once fired you get some huge response back. But that auto-suggesting is never part of the result.

What you could do is fire a JQL like text ~ <keyword> , but you will receive only results where the whole keyword was found.

So long

Thomas
