Hi Team,
I am in the process of updating our company's basic authentication with user/password to email/API key.
According to this (https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-account/docs/manage-api-tokens-for-your-atlassian-account), I should be able to update the username with an email and the password with an API key and make this request successfully:
curl -v https://<company>.atlassian.net --user <user>@<company>.com:<b64key>
This request fails with this error:
* Server auth using Basic with user '<user>@<company>.com'
> GET / HTTP/1.1
> Host: <company>.atlassian.net
> Authorization: Basic <removed>
> User-Agent: curl/7.64.1
> Accept: */*

Basic authentication with passwords is deprecated. For more information, see: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/deprecation-notice-basic-auth/
* Connection #0 to host <company>.atlassian.net left intact
* Closing connection 0
What do I need to do to make the example request work?
Thank you!
Hi,
I don't quite understand the request.
Is it possible to give a little more detail on the need?
Hi Morgan,
In the last several months, basic authentication using a username and password has been deprecated in favor of using an email address with an API token.
According to this article (https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-account/docs/manage-api-tokens-for-your-atlassian-account/), the only thing that needs to be updated are the credentials, and that the following request should be able to be made successfully:
curl -v https://<company>.atlassian.net --user <user>@<company>.com:<b64key>
However, running this request results in this error:
Basic authentication with passwords is deprecated. For more information, see: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/deprecation-notice-basic-auth/
What do I need to do to make requests using an email address and an API token?

Good evening,
My apologies for this bad answer.

This is not a problem with API usage, it is a problem with migrating from the deprecated authentication scheme using username/password to the new scheme which uses email/API key.
