Hello everyone, I’m using SonarQube v.7.9.1 and I wanted to ask how can I get all issues for a specific project with SonarQube web API. I’ve tried with a GET request at the address https://my-sonarqube-server/api/issues/search and it seems to work, but I get a (partial?) list of different projects…

I tried specifying the parameter componentKeys as my project ID and it seems to work. My only doubt is if the list of issues is complete or not. Is there a limit? Thanks again.

Hello @Just_some_guy , The list is limited to 10M as it is a limitation form the Elastic Search stack we use. You can use the createdAfter and createdBefore parameter to extract the complete list in several calls. Alex.

I am able to use the API to pull issues, by project, to build my own reports, but I have not found a reasonable way to get over the per-project cap of 500 issues.

I am using sonarqube version 9.2.3 community edition. Currently it is pulling only 100 issues by default. I have 2000 issues in the project and all needs to be pulled. I tried your method and it is rounding off to 0 (when 14 issues ) and to 1 (when 120 issues) and as resulting losing issues.

Hi Gilbert, I am using community edition 9.2.3 version to retrieve. In this version is there any new way to get all the list of issues? Thanks, Prasad.

Hi Prasad, somehow i missed that the new api/projects/export_findings endpoint was only implemented for Sonarqube Enterprise. When using Sonarqube Community you have to use api/issues/search instead. You’re right about the rounding problem, my proposal was only briefly outlined without test. At…
