Hi,

I understand that your REST API response here is a 200 HTTP code, but you don't see any results.   There are a couple of possible explanations here.  We can see in the documentation of that endpoint (GET /rest/api/3/issue/createmeta) that:

Note that invalid project, issue type, or project and issue type combinations do not generate errors.

This operation can be accessed anonymously.

Which means that either,

1. There are no projects your user account can see on that site where you can create issues in.
2. Or your authentication is somehow broken here, and your call is being made anonymously

 

Since this endpoint is accessible anonymously, even if your credentials were invalid here, you would still get back an HTTP 200 code like here, but just with empty response.

I suggest that you try to confirm if your credentials being supplied to this site are still valid, perhaps by trying another endpoint to say GET an issue that is only accessible to logged in users. This is another way to try to confirm your account being used here is using the correct credentials or not.

Try that and let me know if this helps.
