Authentication Issue with Xporter Plugin API (/plugins/servlet/jiraxporter) Using Bearer Token

[BNSHE]

• This authentication method works perfectly for native Jira APIs (e.g., )./rest/api/2/issue
• However, when using the same Bearer Token with the Xporter plugin API, I receive a  response Unauthorized
• Does the Xporter plugin support Bearer Token authentication, or does it require a different method (e.g., Basic Auth, session cookies)?

HI @BNSHE 

Going over the documentation there is no authentication requirement.

https://docs.getxporter.app/space/XPORTER/1414092/REST+API 

Otherwise contact the vendor for support.

Hi @BNSHE and welcome to the community,

I've had a look at the Xporter documentation but couldn't find specific information on the authentication.
I assume with bearer token, you mean a Personal Access Token that you've created within your profile on your Data Center instance?

The easiest and safest way is usually to reach out to the vendor of the app, state your use cases and challenge and usually they are very helpful and can even provide something above and beyond just answering the authentication question.

You can find the support channels for Xporter her: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/891368/xporter-export-issues-from-jira-to-pdf-word-excel?tab=support

I hope that helps!
