I would like to send deployment information to a Jira issue from my ArgoCD pipeline

Hi, I though I could use the Rest API for deployment but I'm having difficulties understanding the authentication method needed to achieve that and how to set it up

Hi @Guy Yehezkel 

To integrate your ArgoCD pipeline with Jira issues via the Jira REST API, authentication setup is essential.

For Jira Server/Data Center, choose between Basic Authentication (less secure) and OAuth (more secure). For Jira Cloud, generate an API token through the Atlassian API token management portal.

https://id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens

To authenticate:

• Jira Cloud: Use your email as the username and API token as the password.
• Jira Server/Data Center (Basic Authentication): Use your Jira username and password, encoded in Base64.
• Jira Server/Data Center (OAuth): Create an Application Link, generate consumer and private keys, and implement the OAuth flow.

In your ArgoCD pipeline:

• Create a script or use a tool for HTTP requests.
• Include authentication headers.
• Send a POST or PUT request to update the Jira issue.

Example using curl for Jira Cloud:

bash

curl -D- \

   -u your-email@example.com:your-api-token \

   -X PUT \

   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

   https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/ISSUE-KEY \

   --data '{

     "fields": {

       "customfield_10000": "Deployment completed"

 

Replace your-email@example.com, your-api-token, your-domain, and ISSUE-KEY with your actual values
