Hello All, I want to access filters and other project stuffs using jira rest api.

Hello All, I want to access filters and other project stuffs using jira rest api.

I suppose its the cloud version of Jira (https://XXXXX/jira/secure/ManageFilters.jspa?filterView=favourites)

this is accessible only when i use company vpn
could you please help me redirect me to helpful document which can be used to get the necessary things from rest api.

i tried using this - https://XXXXX/rest/api/3/filter/my

but it did not work

gives me this on postman

<html>
<head>
<title>404 Not Found</title>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<h1>404 Not Found</h1>
</center>
<hr>

i was able to resolve above error by giving /jira...but now ran into a different error while triggering from postman

<div class="aui-message aui-message-warning warning">
<p>Encountered a
<code>"403 - Forbidden"</code> error while loading this page.
</p>
<p>Basic Authentication Failure - Reason : AUTHENTICATION_DENIED</p>
<p>
<a href="/jira/secure/MyJiraHome.jspa">Go to Jira home</a>

Looks like you don't have access to the content you are trying to achieve. Are you using the correct API token? https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-account/docs/manage-api-tokens-for-your-atlassian-account/.

"userKey": "bbadrin",
"view": "true",
"edit": "true"
}

REsponse:

"errorMessages": [
"User: 'bbadrin' does not exist."
],
"errors": {}

Looks like you need to send the user's account id in the payload for this to work. Check out the Find users endpoint to get the account id and then use the account id in this payload instead of the username.

@Vishal Singh Were you able to use the account id? If that worked, please do accept the answer so that we can confirm it.
