It seems no one has actually answered this question. Contrary to what everyone here is saying, you can actually get an api key. Profile icon at bottom left of your screen>>profile>>Security>>api token>>create and manage your api tokens.

Thank you SO much. I can't believe how hard this was to find, the jira docs would always take me to OAuth tools when all I want is set up a quick local script.

Afaik JIRA does not use an access key for its REST API. It uses other authentication methods.

Sure, but use AJS.contextPath() to create the needed url
