# POST /ex/jira/{}/rest/api/2/search is deprecated

Atlassian Cloud API deprecated POST /ex/jira/{id}/rest/api/2/search without giving a shutdown date yet.

Atlassian Cloud API deprecated the POST /ex/jira/{id}/rest/api/2/search endpoint without a shutdown date, noting that the endpoint is currently being removed. Once removed, requests to this endpoint will fail. This change directly affects any integrations calling POST /ex/jira/{id}/rest/api/2/search.

## What to use instead

Call POST /ex/jira/{}/rest/api/2/search/jql instead. This replacement endpoint uses nextPageToken for pagination instead of startAt and returns only ids unless fields are requested.
