Consumer keys imply the use of Oath - see https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-apis/jira-rest-apis/jira-rest-api-tutorials/jira-rest-api-example-oauth-authentication

But if you drop back to basic authentication, that's the most simple way to do it (least secure too)

If you want a simple solution use createIssue from JIRA Command Line Interface (CLI). You can embed the command call in your app.

Thanks Nic,
i have gone to url "admin/applications" to find the list of applications. here is that
1) JIRA Software
2) JIRA Service Desk (with JIRA addons Gliffy Diagrams for JIRA Cloud)
3) Confluence (with JIRA addons Gliffy Diagrams for confluence Cloud)

also i have gone through some ruby gems
https://github.com/sumoheavy/jira-ruby
https://github.com/atlassian/omniauth-jira
most of them asking consumer key & token. like these
client = JIRA::Client.new({:consumer_key => CONSUMER_KEY, :consumer_secret => CONSUMER_SECRET})

i don't know like how to create CONSUMER_KEY , CONSUMER_SECRET.
in JIRA API docs says we can use Basic HTTP Auth.
if yes then how can i do it with rails app ?.

my aim is just to create a JIRA ticket/issue from my Rails APP. thats all
Thanks
