Can access /rest/api/3/project from browser, not with curl

[svanschalkwyk]

I can access the REST endpoint with the browser. 

I created an API key and Postman and curl both return [] for this call. 

This is the error I receive when I use the -v setting on curl: 

< report-to: {"endpoints": [{"url": "https://dz8hshshs6s.cloudfront.net"}], "group": "endpoint-1", "include_subdomains": true, "max_age": 600} < nel: {"failure_fraction": 0.001, "include_subdomains": true, "max_age": 600, "report_to": "endpoint-1"}

Hi @svanschalkwyk 

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Would you mind sharing the curl command you are trying ? remove your token and URL part from it.

[svanschalkwyk]

curl -k -u steph.xxxx%40xxxxxxxx.com:AxxxxxxxxxxxxagJLgo -H "Accept: application/json" "https://xxxxx.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/project"

and _all variations therof. base64 encoding also not working. 

the atlassian is behind MSFT SSO and we do not have access to the apps in azure. 

Accessing this endpoint from my browser works. 

The endpoint on my non-MSFT-SSO atlassian instance does work.

You can try this -

curl 'https://mysite.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/project' --header 'Accept: application/json' --header 'Authorization: Basic mybase64encodedtoken'

Please change mysite and mybase64encodedtoken in your example and retry.

You can construct and send basic auth headers. To do this you perform the following steps:

1. Generate an API token for Jira using your Atlassian Account.
2. Build a string of the form useremail:api_token.
3. BASE64 encode the string.
   • Linux/Unix/MacOS:

     echo -n user@example.com:api_token_string | base64

   • Windows 7 and later, using Microsoft Powershell:

     $Text = ‘user@example.com:api_token_string’
     $Bytes = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($Text)
     $EncodedText = [Convert]::ToBase64String($Bytes)
     $EncodedText

4. Supply an Authorization header with content Basic followed by the encoded string. For example, the string fred:fred encodes to ZnJlZDpmcmVk in base64, so you would make the request as follows:
   

   curl -D- \
   -X GET \
   -H "Authorization: Basic ZnJlZDpmcmVk" \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   "https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/QA-31"

I tried that - all variations.

Suggests that the credentials provided are incorrect, since this is for Jira cloud, please ensure you are using API token generated from your user profile instead of a password for BASE64 encoding.
