forge/api requestJira trying to reach https://jira/rest/api instead of my own domain

[Illés Ákos]

I'm developing a Forge app that is listing out all the remote links associated with a customer request in Jira Service Management for all of the customers to see. My problem is that the api.asApp().requestJira(route`/rest/api/3/issue/${issueKey}/remotelink`); method is evaluated to: https://jira/rest/api/3/issue/MYISSUEKEY/remotelink instead of https://MYCOMPANY/rest/api/3/issue/MYISSUEKEY/remotelink. Thus violating the document's Content Security Policy, more specifically this directive: "connect-src 'self' https://api.atlassian.com/metal/ingest". I tried to use forge/bridge requestJira before, but as of my knowledge it only uses the user as the caller, so it doesn't meet my use-case, that customers should also be able to see the results. And also this is why I intend on using the app as a caller for the endpoint. 

Here are the permissions I gave to the app: 

permissions:

  scopes:

    - read:jira-work

    - read:issue.remote-link:jira

    - read:issue:jira

    - read:servicedesk-request

    - read:status:jira

And here are the unlicensed access:

      unlicensedAccess:

        - customer

        - unlicensed

Please someone help me understand why does requestJira trying to call https://jira instead of my own site, and also I would very much appreciate suggestions on how to resolve this issue.

Hi @Illés Ákos 

You have to import route and use it to build your endpoint.

import api, { route } from '@forge/api';

api.asApp().requestJira(route`/rest/api/3/myself`);

Hi, thank you for your answer!
I indeed had some imports missing, but a bigger problem was that I could not invoke the REST API from the frontend for some reason and the reason for the error I believe was invoking from the frontend. I rewrote my code in the resolvers/index.js file and now it works fine. Also a good tip for anyone starting out and reads this, is that just because the forge cli tells you your latest version is installed it is not always the truth...

Ya not easy to start. This video helped me a lot when I started with Forge and development using node and TS.
