How to Access the Verification Code When Requesting Access Token

Martin Lyubenov

Hello guys,

I am building application, that will have the feature to access Jira's database and create issues in Jira as well. I followed this guide:, however there are some thing unclear to me...

I am able to get the request token, but how do I extract the Verification code? 

In the guide it is said to copy it from the web page, I am redirected to after I give permission. Is there any way to extract this code? 

Thanks a lot!

For anyone who is having the same issue as I did - here is how you could get around it:

Notice that when you click ALLOW, then you are redirected to a window and in its url you have the request token and the verification secret, then I used HostListener to get the info from the url and pass it to the access token request

HostListener('window:message', ['$event']) onMessage(event) {
this.authService.authorizeWithJira(event.data.value.token, event.data.value.secret)
      .subscribe((data: string) => {
        localStorage.setItem('token', data);
        this.syncWithJira();
      });
}

Note: authoriseWithJira is a method in the authService, that send request for the access token.

Note: Jira has CORS disabled and you might need to do this on the backend.
