Cannot use API-token with cURL

[Carsten Stepan]

I tried everything from Basic auth for REST APIs (atlassian.com) to get my request working:

I created an API-token on the application. Then I crated a string  in the form "myuser:mytoken" and encoded it using base64. Finally I used that string as authorization-header within cURL:

curl https://myintance.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/project -H "Authorization: Basic <base64string>"

However it keeps returning an empty array, wile it should get me my JIRA-projects.

I also tried to provide the API-token as bearer-token as described here: Using Personal Access Tokens | Atlassian Support | Atlassian Documentation

curl https://myintance.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/project -H "Authorization: Bearer <base64string>"

but that gave me this:

{"error": "Failed to parse Connect Session Auth Token"}

Okay, now it works... created completely new token. Seems like the previous one was broken ;(
