Getting Empty Array When Calling /accessible-resources Despite Connected Cloud Resource

amnon_ashkenazy

 

Description:

I am trying to fetch the list of accessible resources (cloud instances) using the Atlassian OAuth 2.0 (3LO) flow with client credentials. However, even though my account is already connected to a Jira Cloud site, the /accessible-resources endpoint returns an empty array [].

---

Here’s the Python code I’m using:

 

<code><span>```</span>

oauth = OAuth2Session(client=BackendApplicationClient(client_id=client_id, client_secret=client_secret))

try:

res = oauth.fetch_token(

token_url='https://auth.atlassian.com/oauth/token',

client_id=client_id,

client_secret=client_secret,

include_client_id=True,

scope=['read:jira-work', 'read:jira-user', 'write:jira-work', 'manage:jira-configuration'],

)

access_token = res.get('access_token')

if not access_token:

print('No access token received')

return

import jwt

# Decode without verifying signature

decoded = jwt.decode(access_token, options={'verify_signature': False})

print(decoded)

import requests

headers = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {access_token}', 'Accept': 'application/json'}

response = requests.get('https://api.atlassian.com/oauth/token/accessible-resources', headers=headers)

print(response.json())
```

---

What Happens:

• The token request succeeds, and I receive an access_token.

• Decoding the token shows valid claims.

• However, calling <a href="https://api.atlassian.com/oauth/token/accessible-resources" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank">https://api.atlassian.com/oauth/token/accessible-resources</a> returns an empty list ([]).

Hi @amnon_ashkenazy 

Welcome to the community.

This call is for developing an app, is your question about client_id an an app?

This endpoint can't be used by a user API token.
