Cannot get board issues using GET board issues endpoint in script that previously worked fine

Anna Woodard

I have a script that had been working just fine, until recently, I cannot get the agile endpoints to work anymore

Authorization code:

def Jira_Auth():

    baseurl = "xxx.atlassian.net"
    

    jira_api_username = "xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxx"

    jira_api_token = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

    auth = HTTPBasicAuth(jira_api_username, jira_api_token)

    headers = {

    "Accept": "application/json",

    "Authorization": f"Bearer {auth}"

    }

    return baseurl,headers,auth

b,h,a = Jira_Auth()

print(b,h,a)

My request is:

def get_board_issues(boardId):

        

       

        get_issues_url = f"https://{baseurl}/rest/agile/1.0/board/{boardId}/issue"

        response = R.get(get_issues_url,headers=jira_headers,auth=auth) # store name and issuekeys

        # issues = {}

        # for i in response['issues']:

        #     issues[i['fields']['summary']] = i['key']

        # issueNames = [x['fields']['summary'] for x in response['issues']]

        # issuekeys = [x['key'] for x in response['issues']]

        return response.text

issues = get_board_issues(633)

print(issues)

I get the error:

Client must be authenticated to access this resource.

I can get information from the V2 and V3 REST APIs just fine, but not these. My token is set to have the following scopes:

read:board-scope:jira-software

read:issue-details:jira

I appreciate any help.

Hi @Anna Woodard

I just tested this endpoint using a token with the same scopes and permissions, and it seems to be working as expected — so it doesn’t appear to be a general issue.

 

I’m using Basic Authentication, with the following header format:

headers = {

    "Authorization": "Basic <Base64-encoded string of email:token>"

}
