It looks like /api/2/project easily returns all projects in a JIRA instance in JSON format.
I'd like to do the same for issues, but this does not appear to exist.
Is /api/2/search the standard way to do a mass-dump like this? And what is the best way to regularly update this to a database? Would I do something like search (update date > [last entry in database]) and then go through the pagination? Surely I can't be the first person attempting this, though I see no similar guide anywhere online to this (I checked Jira's own docs, no mass-issue-export guide really).
EDIT: Okay it looks like search really is the "issue dump" and not the issue node which, contrary to their documentation, does not default to a collection but really for creating issues or listing one at at time. I'll probably go the route of updated > [whatever last date is in the DB]
