Get list of deleted JIRA Issues using APIs

I need to find a list of JIRA Issues that have been deleted. With the JIRA APIs I can only get the non-deleted JIRA Issues. There is no soft deleted flag returned in the API response.

Is there way to get a list of deleted JIRA Issues? Just the IDs will suffice. Are the Issue deletions exposed in the Events API?

For Jira Server, you could try pull every issue and iterate through the number part of the key. Presumably if there is a missing number, the issue has been deleted (Or you don't have view permissions for it). Unfortunately this wont allow you to know more than its key.

Eg. TEST-1, TEST-2, TEST-5 would allow you to assume TEST-3 and TEST-4 have been deleted.

Jira Cloud has an Issue Deleted event you could try listening for https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Re-Is-it-possible-to-be-notified-when-issue-is-deleted/qaq-p/1146155/comment-id/365013#M365013

I don't think there is an equivalent for on-prem Jira. I've scanned access logs before to find the REST calls to delete. But not had any luck with any other approach. So, not really
