[Diederik de Boer]

I would like to use Jira Rest API but since i login through company' s gmail account.

i cannot use my username:password to curl a request.

Hi Diederik,

You can use OAuth or cookie based for REST API calls, both require a bit more work to get going but is more secure.  Cookie base REST API does require you to send the username and password once to get the cookie.

Please see these pages jira-rest-api-cookie-based-authentication and jira-rest-api-oauth-authentication as document on how to get them going.
