404 with API token and 401 with Basic Auth when GET API call made through POSTMAN on JIRA cloud

RANJITH KUMAR_lta1eu

Hi,

 

I have a JIRA cloud account and have issue created. Created a API token to test API though postman. 

Selected Authentication type as OAuth2.0 with the API Token, getting a 404 error. Also tried the same with Basic authentication getting error as 401. 

Below is the URL I used https://ranjith9960.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/MAC-1.

When this is used in a browser able to see the response, not through post Man.

 

Can someone help on this?

please make sure your are doing the step 2 and 3 on your headers 

1. Generate an API Token for your Atlassian Account: https://id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens
2. Build a string of the form user@example.com:api_token.
3. Encode the string using base64.
4. Supply an Authorization header with content Basic followed by the encoded string. For example, the string user:user encodes to dXNlcjp1c2Vy in base64
