How can i get a detail info from an issue?

Hello, I would like to know how I can obtain a list of a specific issue by entering its ID. Currently, I am retrieving all the issues from a project, but if I want to view the details of a specific issue, how do I do that? I have tried the endpoint api/issues/show?key=id_issue

But it does not work. Is there an endpoint that allows you to obtain details on how it is resolved, recommendations, etc.?

An issue is just an issue. It’s tied to a rule, so you’ll have to query that seperately. So if you you retreive a single issue from GET api/issues/search…

      },
...

You have to clue into the rule java:S5853, and query info for that rule seperately
