Search REST API not accepting "filter" in JQL anymore

[Karim Masarweh]

Hi All,

(JIRA Server Version 7.6.1)

In order to retrieve the results of a filter, the following REST API call was being done successfully.

https://www.<mydomain>.com/rest/api/2/search?jql=filter=47594 

But when JIRA moved to be hosted on AWS, these calls stopped working with an error of "403 Forbidden" response.

It's important to note that making calls without using the "filter" keyword are still successful.

Example: https://www.<mydomain>.com/rest/api/2/search?jql=issuekey=XYZ-12

Can anyone help understanding why?

Thank you :-)
