I am getting 404 error for rest api on jira

[jai shree ram]

I want to test the rest api of jira and fetch some data from jira.

So I used the below url 

https://my_company_website.com/rest/api/latest/search?jql=assignee=personName

But I am getting 404 ,

I want to know any rest api basic url to check whether rest api is supported or not for my organisation domain name (jira.my_comany.com) 

I am able to access jira  as https://my_company_website.com/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa

But I want to access it via rest and to do some operations like get the logged hours for particular project.

Looking at your Dashboard URL, I can see that you are running your Jira on '/jira' context URL.

So, your REST API Base URL will be, https://xxxxxx/jira/rest/api/latest

And your search URL will be, https://xxxxx/jira/rest/api/latest/search?jql=assignee=amarsha.ng

@DPKJ ,

Ya its working now because of missing /jira in my url causing problem.

Thanks for your valuable answer

Hi @jai shree ram 

You may follow the steps from this page to test basic authentication :

• https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/basic-authentication/

curl -u username:password -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/issue/createmeta

• Replace username:password with the correct username & password
• Replace localhost:8080 with your baseurl.
