How to add an attachment to a JIRA issue using REST API

Question

In the article, we can see that it is asking for a username and password. Where to find a Jira username and password?

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-add-an-attachment-to-a-jira-issue-using-rest-api-699957734.html

I need to hit the below API what could be the username / password here as I am using login with Google.

curl -D- -u {username}:{password} -X POST -H "X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck" -F "file=@{path/to/file}" http://{base-url}/rest/api/2/issue/{issue-key}/attachments

Hi @Kaustubh Dandale

Welcome to the community!!

The api you shared is for server version. Please take a look at this Jira Cloud Rest Api Attachment doc.

You will use api token instead of user/pass. Manage API tokens for your Atlassian account
