I get errors when i try to add or remove watches via API

Question

I have tried both

jira.add_watcher(new_issue.id,watcher)

and

jira.remove_watcher(new_issue.id,watcher)

and on both i get errors which i can't understand why i'm getting the. When adding i get a 404 error with no message, when removing i get Warning:root:Got recoverable error which will try 3 times then bring back 401 error.
