I've built a simple program that integrates our MantisBT instance with a communication platform our team uses. I have a search function that is meant to return a list of up to 10 issues that match the keywords. This is possible from within the website, but seemingly not within the REST API.
My current workaround was to do this
Code: Select all
/api/rest/issues?page=1&page_size=1000
Which is basically just to request a lot of data and do the search myself. However you can probably tell this is not a great solution. I really want to be able to do the search server-side, which I know it's capable with using the filter system.
The closest existing API call appears to be
Code: Select all
/api/rest/issues?filter_id=1&page_size=10&page=1&project_id=1
But the problem is that it only takes existing filters, I can't define my own on the fly with the user's search query. Every api call is either GET or DELETE, so it seems creating filters is impossible.
Has anyone had success implementing this? This seems like a really basic usecase to be missing from the API like this.
