new API - applying IssueCountResponse entity syntax to count issues in a specific project

Hi,

With the new API IssueCountResponse explanation, I couldn't figure out how to get the total number of issues contained in a specific project.

I tried the following in Postman:

  • POST {{baseUrl}}/issuesGetter/count?fields=count&query=project:+%7Bname+of+my+project%7D
  • GET {{baseUrl}}/issuesGetter/count?fields=count&query=project:+%7Bname+of+my+project%7D

What I received as a response, with the POST was:

"
{

    "error": "Bad Request",
    "error_description": "An Project-type entity with the specified ID (0-0) was not found",
    "error_developer_message": "An Project-type entity with the specified ID (0-0) was not found"
}
"
A colleague of mine tried the same, and even received another error message mentioning "non null being null".
Important note: we are seeking to get the count, NOT overwrite anything.
 
Could you please help on that and document it?
Thanks in advance,

Hello,

I'm Lena from YouTrack. I will be happy to help you.

Please use the following instructions to get the issues count: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/youtrack/devportal/resource-api-issuesGetter-count.html#create-IssueCountResponse-method. We use POST in this example because we pass the filter query to the server.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

Hello Lena,

I tried to apply the issuesGetter syntax like this:

{{baseUrl}}/issuesGetter/count?fields=count&query=project:+%7BMy+Project+%7D

and also like:

{{baseUrl}}/issuesGetter/count?query=project:+%7BMy+Project+%7D

But I keep receiving this error:

{
    "error": "Bad Request",
    "error_description": "An Project-type entity with the specified ID (0-0) was not found",
    "error_developer_message": "An Project-type entity with the specified ID (0-0) was not found"
}
 
I assume that it is because the request doesn't use fields & query like I seem to understand it.
Could you please provide the exact POST request syntax to use when we want to apply this issuesGetter request to count the number of issues of a project named My Project?
 
Thanks in advance for your help,

Hi again,
When trying another time with this:

youtrack/api/issuesGetter/count?fields=count&query=project:+%7BMy+Project%7D

This time, I received this error:
 
{
    "error": "server_error",
    "error_description": "Parameter specified as non-null is null: method jetbrains.charisma.persistent.issue.IssuesGetterResource.getIssuesCount, parameter data"
}

Could you please explain what can cause these 2 errors (the one in my previous message and this one above)? And provide the exact syntax as requested in my previous message?

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

This request doesn't support quesry, you should send the query in the request body:

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/youtrack/devportal/resource-api-issuesGetter-count.html#create-IssueCountResponse-method-sample-1

Sample request

https://example.youtrack.cloud/api/issuesGetter/count?fields=count


Sample request body

{
  "folder":
  {
    "$type":"Project",
    "id":"81-1". // here should go the project ID
  }
}


Sample response body

{
  "count":29,
  "$type":"IssueCountResponse"
}
