GET API calls fails with 404 - Issue does not exist or you do not have permission to see it.

[Shyam Raj Sampath]

Hi I am trying to make rest API calls from my code and from POSTMAN, and they are failing with 404 : Issue does not exist or you do not have permission to see it.

I am able to make the same rest calls with Hoppscotch, which is also a rest API client.

$ curl --request GET \
> --url https://<client>.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/ISSUE-3 \
> --header 'Authorization: Bearer API_TOKEN'
{"errorMessages":["Issue does not exist or you do not have permission to see it."],"errors":{}}

You can use

$ curl --request GET \
> --url https://<client>.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/ISSUE-3 \
> --header 'Authorization: Basic Base64_email:api_token'

I believe bearer only will work if you're using OAuth generated token. As the API key won't work in the issue API.
