python jira return the content of a filter

Question

I'm new in jira python and I want to have a list with tickets obtained with an existing filter.

I tried jira.filter(id) but instead receiving the list with issue, I received only the name of the filter. Using jira.search_issue is working, but because my filter can be change by other guys I need something that will take in account those changes of filter content. Any ideas? Thanks!

Answer 1

Use filter ID in jira.search_issue.

for i in jira.search_issues('filter=25471'):
    print i.key

Thanks a lot. This is exactly what I needed. I was sure that should be something easy :). – Splenetic

Note that this only returns the first 50 issues by default, you must use issues = jira.search_issues('filter=25471', maxResults=300) if you want more. – Borglum

What to do if I want the filter ID to be a variable? I have multiple filters and I would like to search_issues multiple times. – Beckham

@PranitiGupta you could do 'filter={}'.format(<YOUR VARIABLE>) – Acentric
