api rest autorisation issue

Question

Hello,
I come to you for help, when I try to make calls with the jira rest api, in response it tells me that I do not have the rights to see it or that the ticket does not exist

{
errorMessages: [ "Le ticket n'existe pas ou vous n'êtes pas autorisé à la voir." ],
errors: {}
}

with regard to which one you are connecting to. I would just login to the URI and the confirmation will be there for you.

Jira Server/DC API documentation
https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.6.1/

Jira Cloud API documentation:
https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v2/api-group-issue-priorities/

Note that for authentication on Cloud, you will need to use the Basic authentication scheme. Whereas for Server/DC you will need Bearer scheme.
Server/DC:

Cloud:
https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/basic-auth-for-rest-apis/

Also, check if you can access the ticket. Make sure that for this particular project, you actually have the required permission. Best is to check the permission scheme and cross-check with your user role, and to also just paste the url of the API into Firefox to test the output.
