As I have seen on multiple websites and documentation, each one describes a little different method to use the JIRA API. Some use the JIRA module, some use directly request modules.
First I have explained the way I was able to create issues using session:
(1) By following the documentation, I was able to use CURL command to create a session, then storing JSESSIONID and atlassian.xsrf.token to a text file.(using curl -c cookie.txt -X POST -d {credentianls_json} -h {headers} https://XYZ.com/auth/1/session)
*notice the endpoint is without the keyword /rest/ as opposed to the documentation.
*when /rest/auth/1/session was used no JSESSIONID was generated, only xsrf token
(2) Then I was able to use this cookie.txt to create a issue. (using curl -b cookie.txt -X POST -d {data_fields} -h {headers} https://XYZ.com/rest/api/latest/issue )
data_fields = {with all fields and projectkey in json format}
##ISSUE CREATED##
Now when I try to do the same thing with python requests.
------------trying to do the exact same steps------------------
class JiraEverything(object):
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
if(len(kwargs)!=2):
raise JiraException('In order to use this class atleast provide 2 input')
else:
if 'username' in kwargs.keys():
if 'password' in kwargs.keys():
self.__username = kwargs['username']
self.__password = kwargs['password']
else:
raise JiraException('No password found')
else:
raise JiraException('No username found')
####
def getcookie(self):
headers = {
'Content-Type' : "application/json"
}
params = {
'username': self.__username,
'password': self.__password
}
try:
r = requests.post('https://homework101.atlassian.net/auth/1/session',headers = headers, params = params)
except:
raise JiraException('Could not connect to API, verify your username and password')
#####able to get CookieJar with JSESSIONID and xsrf
###trying to use this to generate new issue
new_headers = {
'Content-Type' : "application/json",
'Set-Cookie' : r.headers['Set-Cookie']
}
data = {with all fields and projectkey in json format}
rr = requests.post('https://homework101.atlassian.net/rest/api/latest/issue', headers = new_headers, data = data)
###########I get 400 error
I have tried with multiple endpoint like createmeta but this url works with curl command. I am not able to find any solution to this problem. If anyone has any idea what is going on. Please provide your input. Thanks
