search issue by JQL

[!TIP]
Search for issues using JQL (GET)
JQL: What is advanced search in Jira Cloud?
How to get all issues by project key and issue type using REST api
JQL pattern rule:
remove all space
%3D instead of =
project=abc -> project%3Dabc
%20CONDITION%20 instead of CONDITION
AND -> %20AND%20
OR -> %20OR%20
* JQL operators
REST API - 'order by' param is ignored
What is advanced search in Jira Cloud?

format JQL

[!TIP]
* iMarslo: using jql to get URLEncodign

$ jql='project = abc AND issuetype = release order by updated desc'
$ jql=$(printf %s "${jql}" | jq -sRr @uri)

$ jql="$(sed 's/ //g;s/AND/ AND /g;s/OR/ OR /g;s/IN/ IN /g;s/IS/ IS /g' <<< "${jql}")"
$ jql="$(printf %s "${jql}" | jq -sRr @uri)"

# i.e.:
