Is there a way to create projects using ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud?

[Ben]

I would like to create a project using a automated fashion on Jira Cloud and am unable to find a simple way to accomplish this. Is there a way to run a script to create a project using ScriptRunner or another automation tool without actually having to build an app?

Hi Ben,

I can confirm that with ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud that you can make a call to the Create Project rest API whcih Atlassian provide and is documented here in order to create a project.

I can confirm that we have an example of how this API works which is located here  and you will be able to run this example on yhe script console and modify it to help meet your requirements.

I hope this example helps.

Regards,

Kristian

Thank you Kristian, The problem I was having was that I needed to encode the username and password in base 64.
