JIRA REST API

[christopher.guzman]

I have been having trouble getting back a specific issue from Jira via Ajax/Jquery. Everytime I get a 401 error code

Here is my code for more context:

 <ac:plain-text-body>
<button>Get Issue</button>
        <script type="text/javascript">

            AJS.toInit(function() {
var button =   AJS.$("button")
button.click(function(){
AJS.$.ajax({
  url: "https://jira.int.mycompany/rest/api/2/issue/issue-ID",
  type: "GET",

  beforeSend: function(xhr) {

        xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic XXXXXXXXX");
	xhr.withCredentials = true;

	},

  dataType: "json",
  success: function(msg){
      console.log(msg);
  },
  error:function(msg){
  console.log(msg);
}
});
 })
                
           });
        </script>
    </ac:plain-text-body>
