Any simple curl example to access jira in cloud

[Karl Pfalzer]

I am trying to use curl to verify the simplest way to access an issue in our cloud hosted jira.

% curl -D- -u myname@company.com:password -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://company.atlassian.net/rest/api/latest/issue/VERIF-655

But, I get:

HTTP/2 401 
...
x-seraph-loginreason: AUTHENTICATED_FAILED

Any examples please?

Hello,

You need to provide Api key instead of the password.

You can get api key for your user here:

Thank you.  That worked!
