I know that it was discussed before, but I don't see any solution for this error :

{"message":"Client must be authenticated to access this resource.","status-code":401}%

I'm not working with UI ( User Interface) and I am working from backend, I want to authenticate myself (my users) to be able to run some API call.

I want to run this code :

curl --request GET \<br>--url 'https://MYSITE.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/applicationrole' \<br>--header 'Accept: application/json'

or in python :

import requests<br>import json<br>url = "https://MYSITE.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/applicationrole"<br>headers = {<br>"Accept": "application/json"<br>}<br>response = requests.request(<br>"GET",<br>url,<br>headers=headers<br>)<br>print(json.dumps(json.loads(response.text), sort_keys=True, indent=4, separators=(",", ": ")))

But I'm getting this error :

{"message":"Client must be authenticated to access this resource.","status-code":401}%

the question is how to authenticate it before or at same time (in same line) ?

Hi Maziar

did you already have a look to the https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/basic-authentication/

there is explained how to use Basic Auth etc.


curl -u username:password -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/issue/createmeta

Cheers

Hello Kurt,

Can I bind these two together ?

(And if you are not aware of that, (just saying) username:password is not working any more)

Hi @Maziar Sojoudian ,

of course you are getting 401, there is no authentication header in your request.

I know you said username:password is not working anymore, but it does... so maybe you did something wrong.

Note that username:password need to be encoded in base64, so for example:

useradmin:passadmin = "dXNlcmFkbWluOnBhc3NhZG1pbg==" (and this is what you need to put in your authentication header).

You said you are working with python, so your request should be like that:

import requests

url = "https://MYSITE.atlassian.net/rest/api/latest/........."

payload = ""
headers = {
'Authorization': "Basic dXNlcmFkbWluOnBhc3NhZG1pbg=="
}

response = requests.request("GET", url, data=payload, headers=headers)

print(response.text)

Either you use username:password and if that does not work you can use a token based approach
