API with SSO question

Question

I am trying to access our sandbox Jira Assets space using API.

I am having trouble authenticating, I believe due to SSO.

I have tried JWT tokens and get "not authorized"

I've tried Basic authentication with an API token and get {"errorMessage":"Request must be made by an active logged in user"}

What im looking for is a sample script in Python for accessing the Jira Assets Schemas to be able to add/edit/delete assets there.

TIA!

Various SSO systems may require different approaches.

I'm not familiar with Assets APIs, but I see you are using an API Token. Is this for Jira Cloud or Server/Data Center?

For Server/Data Center, you can use basic auth with an encoded username:password.

the SSO system we are using is Okta.

Not sure about the bearer token but I will research that.

This is new territory for me so Im not even sure its an SSO problem.

Using Basic auth i get a 404 error which is odd as Im using my sandboxes url which IS working in a browser obviously.
