Hey,

Thanks for the response.

I have gone through your link. I have already performed cookie based authentication by generating JSESSIONID using my credentials. But when I was trying to create an issue, I got 404 not found error. Please let me know if you have more information on this.

There is 3 in your URL: http://localhost:8080/rest/api/3/issue but as I know the current API version is 2.
So you can use 2 or latest, i.e. http://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/issue or http://localhost:8080/rest/api/latest/issue

neither of the two urls is not working. I am getting the error: Unauthorized (401).

Do you have any other solution?

It seems that now you have correct URL but your auth method isn't correctly implemented. Maybe JSESSIONID cookie isn't enough. Try to use basic authentication or OAuth with the latest URL.

Hey,

It is quite strange that the url you gave in your 2nd reply (http://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/issue) is working today; which wasn't yesterday. Not sure about the root cause of it though.

Since it is working fine as per your suggestion, I am accepting your answer.

Thanks a lot.

I am also facing same problem but neither of the URLs are working. Please suggest what else I could do?

I have also performed cookie based authentication by generating JSESSIONID using my credentials. But same error is occurring in POSTMAN 404 not found
