Get Issue Details API

[Alaa Alomari]

Hello All,

I am using the below curl request since a long time to get issue details 

curl -D- -u myusername:mypasswd -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 'https://mydomain.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/CDS-4265

 I am using it since a long time every sprint and it was working fine.

Now, suddenly it stopped working and gives 401 response although i am 100% sure of the username and password

HTTP/1.1 401

Server: AtlassianProxy/1.15.8.1

if i tried the link from the browser, it works very fine. any idea what is going wrong? did Atlassian make any update recently on their APIs?

Hi @Alaa Alomari 

You'll want to read through this and this which will hopefully get it working again.

Essentially, you need to stop using password and use an API token.
