Jira Python API (only localhost)

Question

Hi,

I just started today with experimenting the Jira REST API (using Python). I'm following these steps:

https://jira.readthedocs.io/en/master/installation.html

Then started my Python script like this:

from jira import JIRA

jira = JIRA()
jac = JIRA('https://jira.wehkampgroep.nl')

It keeps using localhost when running this code. It looks that the "jac" 
parameter doesn't work.

Any idea?

Regards,
Eelco

Hi @Gautham Rajsimha,

It's the same options but with localhost instead.

options = {'server': 'http://localhost:8080'}

How do I connect to my localhost using the same command?

Hi @Eelco Middelburg,

It should be

options = {'server': 'https://jira.wehkampgroep.nl'}
jac = JIRA(options)

You'll also have to pass authentication. Authentication
