To create a service account:
Go to Atlassian Administration. Select your organization if you have more than one.
Select Directory > Service accounts.
Select Create a service account.
For the service account name, enter an alphanumeric name with 6 to 30 characters.
For the optional description, enter the name of a person or app that uses the account.
Select roles for the apps that the service account needs to access. You can also add the service account to a group.
Select Create.
I have followed all the steps to create a service account in Atlassian Administration. Currently, I am using the REST API with Basic Authentication to fetch data.
However, I would like to know if there is a way to automatically refresh the token via a script instead of manually generating a new token each time it expires. My goal is to create the token once and handle renewal programmatically without manual intervention.
Hi @Madhav sharma
You may want to implement Oauth2 for this.
https://support.atlassian.com/user-management/docs/create-oauth-2-0-credential-for-service-accounts/
You will then be able to use the secret and client id to request a token.

Hello @Madhav sharma
If the token needs to be replaced, the normal approach is simply to create a new API token and update your integration with that new value. If needed, revoke the old one afterwards.
