REQUEST_EGRESS_ALLOWLIST_ERR when using fetch to call jira api

Tim Pew

Writing my first forge app to add a custom JQL function which calls the jira api via fetch, and no matter what I've tried in the manifest.yml I still get the REQUEST_EGRESS_ALLOWLIST_ERR.

This is what I currently have in the yaml:

permissions:

external:

fetch:

backend:

- 'https://<my-jira-instance>.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/search'

scopes:

- read:jira-work

The javascript line in question is "

const response = await fetch(`https://<my-jira-instance>.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/search?jql=parent=${issueKey}`);

Any thoughts what I'm doing wrong?

Hi @Tim Pew ,

After updating the Forge API to the latest version, the issue was resolved. I used the command: npm install @forge/api@latest

This automatically updated the `package.json` file with the entry: "@forge/api": "^4.1.0".

Can you try once?

Hi @Tim Pew

Welcome to Atlassian Community.

I too feel that their might be small difference in yaml file, can you please check below knowledge document for api call

https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/runtime-egress-permissions/

I've reviewed that document previously, and I've actually switched from using fetch to using requestJira with the route tagged template, but I still haven't got it to work, and I'm still getting a regress error even though the document you referenced indicates that calling the jira API shouldn't require any egress permissions.

Hi @Tim Pew

Can you post the what changes you have done and the error you are getting.

You can also get error info from <jira-home-directory>/jira/logs

can you post the error from this log also.

This is the call that's getting the error:

const response = await api

.asApp()

.requestJira(route`/rest/api/3/search`, {

method: "POST",

headers: {

"Content-Type": "application/json",

"Accept": "application/json"

body: bodyData

});

and the error I get is:

[REQUEST_EGRESS_ALLOWLIST_ERR: URL not included in the external fetch backend permissions: /rest/api/3/search. Visit go.atlassian.com/forge-egress for more information.] {
status: 403

I was able to get help from Atlassian support last month and they had me do what you recommend and it worked for me as well. Thank you for your response.
