Where to get the client id and secret key in order to use the Rest APIs of Jira Service Management?

[DKolesnikova]

We are planning to use the Rest APIs of Jira Service Management Data Center

To do so we are in need of  'client-id' and 'client-secret' to get authorized.

Let us know how we can get it.

Thank you!

Hello @DKolesnikova  If you are in Data center, you need Personal Access Token

In Jira, select your profile picture at the top right of the screen, then choose Profile. Once you access your profile, select Personal Access Tokens in the left-hand menu and create one.

Once you have it, you can authenticate your REST calls by passing Bearer <yourtoken>.. for example..

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <yourToken>" https://{baseUrlOfYourInstance}/rest/api/content

Please search this forums if you are stuck, hope it helps, Thanks!

Hello! I don't quite understand why I need PAT?

We want to implement OAuth 2.0 authentication using REST API

I found this in the documentation for JSM DC (https://docs.atlassian.com/jira-servicedesk/REST/5.17.2/ )

I also found a description of OAuth 2.0 authentication (https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/jira-oauth-2-0-provider-api-1115659070.html )

and setting up an incoming link (https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/configure-an-incoming-link-1115659067.html ), but I still don’t quite understand where it can be created and using what user role
