Why JIRA rest api is returning 401 every time I generate a request from postman?

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to make a call to JIRA rest api using the API token from Postman,
I have created the API token from API token,
Now when I send a request to,

https://abc.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue

with body

{
    "auth": {
        "bearer": "<my_token>"
    }
}

it should return all issues, but in real it is returning a 401 unauthorized  error. Any help will be appreciated,
Thanks

Note:
token is generated from the admin account.

Basic has been deprecated. You need to use another authentication mechanism, but the real question was related to the Bearer token, I am facing the same issue. Any luck here?

I also have the same problem on postman when I am trying to post a request to create a issue.  I am using the jira server version, not cloud.

Headers: Content-Type applicaiton/Json, Authorization Basic encodeusername:api token.

URL: http://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/issue

Any idea what is wrong of my request?

With using Postman, all you need do is in the Headers tab, create a `Authorization` header with value `Basic encodedusername:apikey` e.g.
