# POST /ex/jira/{}/rest/api/3/search is deprecated

Atlassian Cloud API deprecated POST /ex/jira/{id}/rest/api/3/search without giving a shutdown date yet.

The endpoint POST /ex/jira/{id}/rest/api/3/search was deprecated on October 31, 2024 without a shutdown date. Atlassian Cloud API notes that the endpoint is currently being removed, and affected requests will ultimately fail.

## What to use instead

Call POST /ex/jira/{}/rest/api/3/search/jql instead. Moving requires code changes beyond updating the path, as the new endpoint pages with nextPageToken instead of startAt and returns only ids unless fields are requested.
