How to run a query of my Jira tasks using an API-key

Iddo Weiner

Hey,

I am trying to query Jira (cloud) using API.

I generated an api-key and ran a quick python script as suggested in several places, such as:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12098333/querying-jira-with-python-and-rest

(I also found very similar code snippets here on Atlassian community).

However, I keep getting the same error message:

JIRAError: JiraError HTTP 401 url: https://<myurl>.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/serverInfo
text: Basic authentication with passwords is deprecated. For more information, see: https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/deprecation-of-basic-authentication-with-passwords-for-jira-and-confluence-apis-972355348.html

So - the API is failing, and it points me to a deprecation link (though I noticed that it points there even with random erroneous input, so it might not be specific to my bug).  

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? My code is provided as well, however it's basically copy paste from stack overflow:

from jira import JIRA

apikey="mykey"
user = 'me@comp'
server = 'https://<comp>.atlassian.net'
options = {'server': server}

jira = JIRA(options, basic_auth=(user,apikey) )

Hi @Iddo Weiner ,

I think you are in the right path, I've seen some issues in previous questions that the APIKEY was not copied correctly and generated this error.

Can you generate a new API Key and re-test it ?
