Authorization issues with GRAPHQL

[KB]

Hi,

I want to build an export for insights from JPD, given the product does not offer any method of it. I found it hard to leverage the graphql API but managed to put together the components in GraphQL explorer.

Now trying this in a node app, I get the error:

Auth category: UNAUTHENTICATED is not allowed in service polaris

This is how I put together the request:

I also copy the token from https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens

const response = await fetch('https://MYINSTANCE.atlassian.net/gateway/api/graphql', {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: { 
          Authorization:'TOKENcopiedFROM-https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens',
          'Content-Type': 'application/json', 
          'X-ExperimentalApi':'polaris-v0',
        },
        body: JSON.stringify({
          query: `query myquery {
            polarisInsights(project: "ari:cloud:jira:MYCLOUDID:project/PROJECTID", 
                    container:"ari:cloud:jira:MYCLOUDID:issue/`+id+`") {
                      id
                  }
                }`
        }),
      });

Not sure about the Token format, but from what I found this would be it.

I appreachiate any help!

I found the solution. Unfortunately the documentation is really bad for this. With the help from the support team i figured the resolution:

First, the domain you use does not matter.

https://YOURJIRA.atlassian.net/gateway/api/graphql or https://api.atlassian.com/graphql

Second the authorization:

'Authorization':"Basic InserTokenHere"

and the token needs to be created by this string in  base64 encoding:

your@emailaddress.com:MYTOKEN-copied-from-https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens

Hello can you please try using this URL https://api.atlassian.com/graphql instead  of 

https://MYINSTANCE.atlassian.net/gateway/api/graphql 

it should work :) 

Cheers,

Thanks Hermance, unfortunately it does not change a thing.

How should the Authentication be formated?

Thanks & Best

@Hermance NDounga Can you share some details o n the Aut token format, or if there is anything else to consider here?
