Authenticate a user

Question

Using JIRA rest API, i want to authenticate if the user has access.

i have trying to use https://your-cloud-instance.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/authentication/auhtorization

but it is giving 404 with POST.

What will be the right url to use?

so would it be right to invoke below API to check if user is authenticated with help of rest API using below API?

@Vishal Biyani , how are you ?

This endpoint doesn't exist in the atlassian documentation

Here is the official documentation >> https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/intro/#authentication

To get the autenthication you need to have an API Token, then you can use endpoint more with POST, GET, DELETE

I hope I helped you.
