Basic auth in Postman does not work with latest REST API

tamas.orban

Hello, hope someone can help me. I have imported the last collection into Postman from here: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/ by clicking on Run postman. Every data were added of course. When I try to send a request (actually any request), I got the following message: "Basic auth with password is not allowed on this instance."

I have read all the posts in the forum, but haven't found a solution yet. I am using my API token with my username. If I copy the request from postman's console into my browser, It works, but from postman not... Any help would be highly appreciated!

Bests,

Tamas

Hi @tamas.orban ,

I just tested my API access using Postman and it is working fine on my end.

In Postman, you need to setup the Environmental variables that Jira Cloud API needed to work.

Refer to my environmental variables setup below.
