How do I get all issues that are either a Story OR Bug in the JIRA REST API?

[David Park]

So far I have made this query to get all bugs with the JIRA REST API:

<url>/rest/api/2/search?jql=issueType=Bug

It works well, but how would I search for Bugs AND Stories? Any help would be appreciated. I've been stuck on this for a while...

Either of these should work – 

• issueType in (bug, story)
• issueType = bug OR issueType = story

Ultimately we are leveraging the built-in JQL searching function, which returns issues. This is great because we get a lot of abilities from a fleshed out search language.

The original question was asking how to search for multiple values on a single field. The answer is to use the IN [in operator] operator vs the = [equals operator] operator.

<url>/rest/api/2/search?jql=issuetype%20in%20(Bug%2C%20Story)

curl -u <user>:<pass> <url>/rest/api/2/search?jql=issuetype%20in%20(Bug%2C%20Story)

This will limit the maximum of issues returned.

To get up to 1000 issues use this example.

I had to give the check mark to the first person but your answer was also very helpful. Thank you!
