You can search and retrieve documents by specifying the scope of the search and field(s) to be search by sending a GET HTTP request to the Jira instance running this version of Documents app. A set of attributes of the matching documents is returned in JSON format.

Request URL

The request URL takes the following form:
https:/ /MY_JIRA_BASE_URL/plugins/servlet/stonikbyte/projectdocs/search-docs?query=QUERY&projectKey=PROJECT_KEY&fields=FIELDS&folderID=FOLDER&scope=SCOPE
Replace "https:/ /MY_JIRA_BASE_URL" with the base URL of your Jira server.
