What is happening?
As part of Atlassian's continued platform enhancements, they will begin deprecating four Jira Platform REST API endpoints from 1 August, and this may cause some of your scripts to stop working.
The following endpoints are affected:
- GET /rest/api/2|3|latest/search - Search for issues using JQL (GET)
- POST /rest/api/2|3|latest/search - Search for issues using JQL (POST)
- POST /rest/api/2|3|latest/search/id - Search issue IDs using JQL
- POST /rest/api/2|3|latest/expression/eval - Evaluate Jira expression
What should I do?
- Check if your scripts are affected. We’ve prepared a report highlighting the scripts that require attention. You can find this report within your ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud instance, open the menu on the left-hand side and scroll down to Deprecation Report.
- Update any affected scripts. Replace the deprecated endpoints with the newly created endpoints using our how-to guide.
- Use the new endpoints when you’re writing new scripts.
To ensure your Jira environment continues to run seamlessly, we recommend updating any affected scripts by 1 August.
