Hello @Rajinish_Gaddam

Welcome to the community,

You can use the jira library for python. Here a code to create a project :

from jira import JIRA
jira = JIRA(basic_auth=('username", 'password'), options={'server': 'https://jiraURL'})

jira.create_project("projectKey","projectnaame","projectlead","projecttype")

Hope this helps

Hi @Mohamed Benziane ,

thank you for immediate response, but still I'm facing the issue.

the above code didn't work for me. it's throwing an error

 text: The referenced project template was not found - the project has not been created.

response headers = {'Server': 'AtlassianProxy/1.15.8.1', 'Vary': 'Accept', 'Cache-Control': 'no-cache, no-store, no-transform', 'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8', 'Strict-Transport-Security': 'max-age=315360000; includeSubDomains; preload', 'Date': 'Fri, 07 Feb 2020 12:29:01 GMT', 'ATL-TraceId': '0e4d0d7a2dec6308', 'X-AACCOUNTID': '<accountId>', 'X-AREQUESTID': '448d-ae03-cb36f12b10de', 'X-XSS-Protection': '1; mode=block', 'Transfer-Encoding': 'chunked', 'Timing-Allow-Origin': '*', 'X-Content-Type-Options': 'nosniff', 'Connection': 'close'}
response text = {"message":"The referenced project template was not found - the project has not been created.","status-code":500,"stack-trace":""}

can you please let me know. what information goes into lead key? in the project

  "lead": "<accountId>",

it's throwing an internal server error while I'm creating a project

{
    "errorMessages": [
        "Internal server error"
    ],
    "errors": {}
}
