Acces to my JIRA cloud via PHP cURL and token

Enes_Sijaric

I want to set one operation automatically, to download one file from my JIRA Atlassian account and save it in my server every day at a certain time. Very important is that my workspace using the Jira cloud. I want to download a file from this link:

 https://workspacename.atlassian.net/secure/admin/CloudExport.jspa

I created API TOKEN for my account and try access via PHP cURL.

$user = 'name@xxx.com';
$password = 'pass.';

 

$url = "https://workspacename.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/project";

$ch = curl_init();

 

$headers = array(

'Accept: application/json',

'Content-Type: application/json',
'Authorization: Bearer token_example'

);

 

$test = "This is the content of the custom field.";

 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "GET");

//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$user:$password");

 

$result = curl_exec($ch);
$ch_error = curl_error($ch);

 

if ($ch_error) {

echo "cURL Error: $ch_error";

} else {

echo $result;

}

 

curl_close($ch);

But I've got this error: {"error": "Failed to parse Connect Session Auth Token"}

Can someone help me? Did I something wrong?

Hello @Enes_Sijaric ,

The problem here is that you are trying to use Bearer Authentication (aka token authentication) while you are supposed to use Basic Authentication using your Atlassian Account email address and the API Token associated to it as credentials.

In other words, in your code you will have to remove the header for bearer authentication and use email address and api token as username and password.

 

For details please see:

• Basic auth for REST APIs
• API Token

 

Let me know if this helps.

 

Cheers,
Dario
