Creating Issues with the Jira API

Dave Koran

Hi All -

I am trying to automate some of my flows and as part of that, I want to create Jira tickets automatically. I've been following the documentation here. I am able to authenticate with no problem. However, when I call:

http://mycloudinstance.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/createmeta

It returns 200, but no body data at all. I've tried variations on specific projects as I need some of the metadata to create an issue.

I suspect a permissions issue here, but I'd love some guidance on further troubleshooting.

Thanks.

The documentation you found is for Data Center, not Cloud. You can find the API for Jira Cloud here, and here is the end point that you want to use, https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issues/#api-rest-api-3-issue-post

That will do it thank you. I am trying to call a POST to create an issue and it is returning 405, which doesn't make sense to me.

Check that your authentication is correct, the Cloud API is no longer supporting username:password, instead you have to use email:<api token>

Yeah I am using my email:token
