creating issue via jira rest api postman

Ankit kharola

I am trying to create a issue via jira rest api using postman  

 

 

{

    "fields": {

       "project":

       {

          "key": "SOTF"

       },

       "summary": "Issue was created visa postman",

       

       "issuetype": {

          "name": "Bug"

       },

       "description": {

      "content": [

        {

          "content": [

            {

              "text": "Issue created via postman.",

              "type": "text"

            }

          ],

          "type": "paragraph"

        }

      ],

      "type": "doc",

      "version": 1

    }

   

       

    }

}

this is the response i am getting 

 

{

    "errorMessages": [],

    "errors": {

        "project": "Specify a valid project ID or key"

    }

}  the project key is correct as i can view the json response if i use it in a url in the web

Hi @Ankit kharola ,

You might want to check the following discussions:

• How can I create a Jira Issue through POST API? 
• Issue with API for creating issues 

Maybe try using GET method to get some data from the existing project to see if authorization works as expected. Once you confirm that, try moving to create a new issue.

Also, here's an official REST API docs on how to create a new issue using POST method: REST API docs / Issues / Create issue 

Cheers,
Tom
