No valid project id or key using REST API with Java

Schmidt_ Paul

Hi community,

I try to create an Jira issue via

"/rest/api/3/issue"

with payload:
{
  "fields" : {
    "project" : {
      "key" : "ABCD",
      "id" : 10463
    },
    "issuetype" : {
      "id" : "10037"
    },
    "summary" : "Connector generierte UserStory"
  }
}

 

Unfortunately I always get "Geben Sie eine gültige Projekt-ID oder einen gültigen Schlüssel an"

When I try the same payload in RESTman with the same auth token the issue is successfully created.

The project id matches the project key. I checked it via the /project/search REST endpoint.

In RESTman I used the same auth token like in my Java application. Reading issues and projects works. Only creating issues doesn't.

I also tried to proivide only project id or key. Same result.

Any hints?

Found the answer in this post: https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/java-unirest-client-jira-cloud-api/49877/6

 

The API documentation is wrong!

HttpResponse<JsonNode> response = Unirest.post("https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue") 
.basicAuth("email@example.com", "<api_token>") 
.header("Accept", "application/json") 
.header("Content-Type", "application/json") 
.body(payload) 
.asJson();

It needs to be:

HttpResponse<JsonNode> response = Unirest.post("https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue") 
.basicAuth("email@example.com", "<api_token>") 
.header("Accept", "application/json") 
.header("Content-Type", "application/json") 
.body(payload.toString()) 
.asJson();
