Let me come straight to point, you have two options,

• Basic Auth
  • In server it 'username:passowrd' - https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/basic-authentication/
  • In cloud 'email:api_key' - https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/basic-auth-for-rest-apis/
• oAuth
  • For server - https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/oauth/
  • For cloud  - https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/jira-rest-api-oauth-authentication/
