Unable to make a post to jira from a local slackbot

[jslot]

Hello, I am in need of some desperate help. I changed my password through Jira and now I'm unable to make a post request to Jira. I can get it to work in postman but I am unable to get it to work in the slack bot. I don't think our code has change except I've switched up my password on the request including the basic auth. Any help would be greatly appreciated. When I use my user name I error at the end as ```Basic Authentication Failure - Reason : AUTHENTICATED_FAILED<``` When I use my email I see ```Basic Authentication Failure - Reason : OK<``` which doesn't make any sense at all. Here is my code and as I've already stated this works when I do it through postman and I've encrypted my user name password as basic64 ala BASIC alsdfjasdfjwe. 

var options = {
    method: "POST",
    uri: URI,
    headers: {
      "Authorization" : "<Basic sdjfowiefalsdf>",
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    body: {
      "fields": {
        "project":
          {
            "key": KEY
          },
        "summary": title,
        "description": description,
        "issuetype": {
          "name": "Bug"
        },
        "labels": [KEY]
      }
    },
  json: true,
  family: 4
};

rp(options)
  .then(function (parsedBody) {
    createTicket.reply(
      "SUCCESS!!"
    );
  })
  .catch(function (err) {
    createTicket.reply(
      " FAILURE..." + err

    );
  })
