Fetching users into an external app

[Renat Khabibulin]

Hello

I am developing a background service where I need to periodically load users from JIRA into my service. Since its a background service I am not able to use code flow for OAuth2. For other platforms my service is integrated with I use client_credentials but as I undersatnd Atlassian doesn't provide it.

I googled a bit and found out that it looks like users can be downloaded via Connected app.

I used this link and succesfully installed sample Connected app into my Jira workspace:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/getting-started-with-connect/

But right now I am confused what's next? How can I utilize this App to get users externally?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome @Renat Khabibulin 

Connect apps will soon be deprecated and you would need to use Forge instead: https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/app-migration/tutorials/adopting-connect-on-forge/

For integrating Forge with other services, I would recommend checking this video out first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV4drTWEzrU&t=163s
