BUG search api https://esearchapi.esri.com/search

Hi All

I'm trying to use this function to search for bugs online

def bug_search(): url = r"https://esearchapi.esri.com/search" data = { "num": 15, "client": "support_all", "start": 0, "site": "support_bug_articles", "format": "json", "len": 100, "lr": "en", "index": "support_all", "_source": { "excludes": [ "content", "meta", "connectorSpecific" ] }, "q": "", "sort": "metaFields.date-sort:D", "partialfields": "version:11%2E3" } response = requests.post(url=url, data=json.dumps(data))

1. It only returns 10 hits in the response

2. The response seems to be ignoring the offset value

3. There is a lot of non English language in the response even though "lr" = "en".

Can anyone point me in the right direction to properly query this api?

I got it working by using a session in python.

def bug_search(max_return = 20): url = r"https://esearchapi.esri.com/search" MAX_PAGE_LEN = 5 results = [] session = requests.Session() headers = { "Accept": "application/json, text/plain, */*", "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate, br, zstd", "Accept-Language": "en-US,en;q=0.9,en-AU;q=0.8", "Origin": "https://support.esri.com", "Referer": "https://support.esri.com/", "Sec-Fetch-Dest": "empty", "Sec-Fetch-Mode": "cors", "Sec-Fetch-Site": "same-site", "sec-ch-ua": '"Microsoft Edge";v="131", "Chromium";v="131", "Not_A Brand";v="24"', "sec-ch-ua-mobile": "?0", "sec-ch-ua-platform": '"Windows"' } session.headers.update({ "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/131.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/131.0.0.0" }) for offset in range(0, max_return, MAX_PAGE_LEN): if offset + MAX_PAGE_LEN > max_return: offset = max_return - MAX_PAGE_LEN data = { "num": MAX_PAGE_LEN, "client": "support_all", "start": offset, "site": "support_bug_articles", "format": "json", "len": max_return, "lr": "en", "index": "support_all", "_source": { "excludes": [ "content", "meta", "connectorSpecific" ] }, "q": "", "sort": "metaFields.date-sort:D", "partialfields": "version:11%2E3" } response = session.post(url, headers=headers, json=data) hits = response.json()["search"]["hits"] results.extend([json.dumps(i) for i in hits]) results = [json.loads(i) for i in set(results)] return results
