REST API curl example

[steveshourds]

Trying for the first time to do rest api using curl.

curl -u "srs@perfectionsoftware.com:XXXXXX" -H "Content-Type: application/json" "https://perfectionsoftware.atlassian.net/rest/servicedeskapi/organization"

getting this response:

Basic authentication with passwords is deprecated. For more information, see: https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/deprecation-of-basic-authentication-with-passwords-for-jira-and-confluence-apis-972355348.html

The link is not very helpful, and everything I tried with api searching is very confusing.

I created an admin organization ID and API key in my administration settings but have no idea what to do with it?

Hello @steveshourds,

Thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community!

Just for us to better understand and help you with this issue, I would like to know more details about the endpoint you are using.

I see that you created an API Key on admin.atlassian.com and that's is correct if you want to use the APIs from the documentation below:

• Organizations REST API Developer

Here is an example of the curl using the API key:

curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.atlassian.com/admin/v1/orgs/{Org ID}' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer 0a1bCdeFGhiJKLMNOPqR' \
  --header 'Accept: application/json'

If you want to use API for Service Desk Organizations, that is different from the above, then the API Token that you need to use is the one generated on your profile on https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security.

• Jira Service Desk Cloud Developer

  curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://domain.atlassian.net/rest/servicedeskapi/organization' \
  --user 'email@domain.com:A1b2345CdEfgHIJkLMn67O8P' \
  --header 'Accept: application/json'

Please, give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Regards,
Angélica

Hi @steveshourds 

I don't use ServiceDesk, only Jira Software, but I think the concept is the same.

To use the API, you need to create an API token and then you use the combination of the email address and token. This needs to be 64-bit encoded before passing it to the API.
