Is anyone experimenting with the new Forms REST API using AforJ?

[Iain McCarthy]

Per Simon Herd's update in the JSDCLOUD issue here & accompanying doc. 

I note instructions on connection methods using Basic Auth or the more secure setup for Connect apps, but would really love some specifics on Automation for Jira.

Does anyone have a simple example they could share? Is Automation for Jira treated as an external app making a request w/Basic or something else? Using the Web Request action I'm getting...

401 unauthorized for the Connect request format:

https://api.atlassian.com/ex/jira/{{varInstanceID}}/forms/issue/{{issue.key}}/form

404 route not found for the Basic auth request format: 

https://api.atlassian.com/jira/forms/cloud/{{varInstanceID}}/issue/{{issue.key}}/form

I'm just trying to return the index to get a form ID for a given issue.

Headers are:

Content-Type	application/json
X-ExperimentalApi	opt-in
Authentication	Basic [base64 token]

Thanks for any assistance!

Hi @Iain McCarthy 

I think you are using the wrong End Point for AforJ

You should use:

https://api.atlassian.com/jira/forms/cloud/{{cloudId}}/issue/{{issueId}}/form

So as always, get rid of the 'ex'

And the header you provide should be:

Accept: application/json

Thanks @Rudy Holtkamp all up and running now (well, form parsing issues aside mentioned in my other thread). Appreciate the response!

Is your Base64 token following the format username@domain:APIkey?

[Iain McCarthy]

@Kalin U yes that's correct, following the instructions here. Have you have some success?
