Proper URL format for API call?

What do you mean by "a format I can parse?" 

Do you want to execute the JQL via REST? if so, the call would be 

https://XXX.com/rest/api/latest/search?jql=XXXXX

This will return the list of issues that matches your JQL.

Look at https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/8.10.0/#api/2/search-search for more information

after /latest/ I have "/issue/BIT-1234?jql=XXXXX" 

This is fine right? 

[Derek Fields _RightStar_]

No, you need to use the Search API if you are going to submit JQL. When you use the Issue API, you are generally specifying a specific issue, either by ID or Key.

You are mixing two different things. When you specify BIT-1234, you are indicating that this is the issue that you want to retrieve. When you specify JQL, you are saying "return all of the issues that match this JQL" - they are mutually exclusive things.

If you just want to retrieve the issue BIT-1234, then use 

https://XXX.com/rest/api/latest/issue/BIT-1234

Don't add any JQL after it.

let's say my "project = ONE" and "status = IN PROGRESS". How do I get those fields from BIT-1234? Like what would the URL be? Would it just be   

https://XXX.com/rest/api/latest/search?jql=projectXXXXANDXXXXSTATUSXXXXINXXXXPROGRESS

Thanks.

I don't understand what you are asking. If you call the REST API 

https://XXX.com/rest/api/latest/issue/BIT-1234

it will return a JSON file that includes the project and status as well as most of the rest of the information associated with that issue. I don't understand why you are insisting that you need JQL. JQL is a query language. It doesn't specify what fields are returned, only which issues are returned that match the query. You already know the issue - it is BIT-1234. 

I suggest that make the call that I have suggested and see what you get back.
