End to end Jira Rest API Python example needed

[Keith Thomas]

I'm a vibe programmer with Python accessing Jira. Once I have the framework of the code I need I'm sure I'll be fine to refine it. Getting started is proving a barrier to me with the new API.

I can form the URL to make an initial JQL query to return issues but I don't think I'm authenticating correctly prior to the query. Is there somewhere I can look to see an up to date example of authentication and query using Python?

I think my query is correctly formed because when I paste it in the browser I get data back. however I get not data in my Python code. 

My authentication code snippet:

def auth_session(email, token):

      s = requests.Session()

      s.auth = (email, token)

      s.headers.update({'Accept': 'application/json'})

      return s

session = auth_session(args.user, token)

My query code snippet:

   url = base_url.rstrip('/') + '/rest/api/3/search/jql?jql=project=WD01&fields=*all'

   print(url)

   r = session.get(url)

   r.raise_for_status()

   data = r.json()

    which creates this URL: 

      https://keiththomas.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/search/jql?jql=project=WD01&fields=*all

Hi,

Did you create correctly your token : Manage API tokens for your Atlassian account | Atlassian Support

Do you have any error message when you run the script ?

Here an example from the documentation The Jira Cloud platform REST API :

import requests

jira_base_url = mySite.atlassian.net

query = { 'jql': 'project = HSP' }
headers = { "Accept": "application/json" }
auth = HTTPBasicAuth("email@example.com", "<api_token>")

response = requests.get(
        f"{base_url}/rest/api/3/search",
        headers=headers,
        auth=auth,
        params=query
    )

@Mohamed Benziane thank you for the response. I took your suggestion and

1. Added an extra line:

          from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

2. Added jql to the URL to avoid this error

As far as I can tell from the debugger I still see no issues:

OK, Authentication looks good now I've caught all my typos. My bad.
