I want to check my JIRA REST API is properly working or not.

Hi @Ayan Basak 

To check whether API you have formulated to either get the data or update the data in Jira is proper you can add "-i" header flag which returns status code 200 if it's OK

For example - GET Issue returns details regarding Issue

curl -i --request GET \ 
--url 'https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey}' \ 
--user 'email@example.com:<api_token>' \ 
--header 'Accept: application/json'

Returns the Issue data along with header which contains Status as well

Let me know if you have any queries

Thanks,
