Is it possible to use the JIRA REST API to create a Jira token?

Deric Ramsey

I am interested in automating the process of creating a JIRA API token. I'd like to use the REST API to open a window and create the JIRA Token to be used for the API for REST API access.

Is this not possible due to security reasons? Is there any documentation that explains this is not possible? Or is it possible to do with Python?

You can refer this documentation

Hi @Deric Ramsey

I'm fairly sure you cannot get API tokens via the rest API. You can only create them manually.

Thanks

Aaron.

@Aaron Williams Thats what I believe as well but is there any official documentation stating this? If you can find any it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your input

@Deric Ramsey I think that is the link @Pallavi Shirodkar shared: https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-account/docs/manage-api-tokens-for-your-atlassian-account/

You'll see the section on creating your API token, I'm Atlassian would state here if you could create it via API if it were possible.
