How can I access user API token?

Question

Currently, I'm using username/password in API for some of my automation. I want to use API token instead for authentication. I couldn't find API token for my user. I couldn't find any information online on that. Can you please help me with some documentation or let me know how can I find API token for my accont?

Charlie,

Someone with a version prior to 8.14.0 with SSO enabled, how do they use API to authenticate to jira?

API tokens are available since Jira 8.14.0 on server and data center versions. Here is the feature request: JRASERVER-67869

And more information on Using Personal Access Tokens.

Your Jira instance will have to be upgraded before you can use them.
