i want to develop a Python script to read and write from my Jira instance using rest API. authentication fails. (it works fine on postman though)
credentials = "Basic " + base64.b64encode(b'MyEmail:MyToken').decode("utf-8")
# Set header parameters
headers={
"Accept": "application/json",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": credentials
SiteUrl= "SiteURL/rest/api/2/issue/issueid"
response = requests.request(
"GET",
SiteUrl,
headers=headers,
)
print(response.text)
