Fetching users into an external app

Renat Khabibulin

Hello

I am developing a background service where I need to periodically load users from JIRA into my service. Since its a background service I am not able to use code flow for OAuth2. For other platforms my service is integrated with I use client_credentials but as I undersatnd Atlassian doesn't provide it.

I googled a bit and found out that it looks like users can be downloaded via Connected app.

I used this link and succesfully installed sample Connected app into my Jira workspace:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/getting-started-with-connect/

But right now I am confused what's next? How can I utilize this App to get users externally?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Renat Khabibulin and welcome to Community!

As @Nikola Perisic mentioned, you'll need to build a Forge app. You could achieve your use case with a scheduled trigger and egress or remotes (depending on your needs) to send your users/data to wherever you want.

I actually have some colleagues who have built something similar who could help out.
