How to handle captcha while logging in Jira through REST API?

Question

I have integrated JIRA with Drupal using REST API. However, once the captcha is enabled, I cannot authenticate user through API: http://jira.xyz.com//rest/api/2/search?jql=assignee=username@xyz.com+order+by+created

How can I overcome this issue?

WE have integrated JIRA with Drupal through REST API and we were able to authenticate and access JIRA tasks in Drupal. However, now with the Captcha for JIRA, we are getting '403 Access Denied' error and not able to access JIRA in Drupal through the API.

What do you mean by cannot authenticate user here? Are you encountering an issue? An Error? What is it? Is it asking for a CAPTCHA? You can reset that through the GUI (or ask the JIRA System Admin to do it).
