404 Project not found Python 'jira' REST API

Question

Hello, I'm trying to create an issue using the jira/JIRA python library. I've got it to connect with token_auth, but I'm now getting a JiraError HTTP 404 'No project found'. Copy-pasting the exact path from the error into google, I get a successful HTML readout (showing the project owner, key, etc.). My code is below: #Some of the below imports unused/used in other parts of the code import requests from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth import urllib.request import json from jira import JIRA import pandas from collections import defaultdict import xlsxwriter #code to import from another API into a dict, want to parse parts of this dict into jira eventually options = { 'server': 'https://its..com', 'verify': True jira = JIRA('https://its..com') auth_jira = JIRA(options=options, token_auth=('@.com', '')) new_issue = jira.create_issue(project='TESTPROJ', summary='New issue from jira-python', description='Look into this one', issuetype={'name': 'Task'}) And below is the error I get: JIRAError: JiraError HTTP 404 url: https://its..com/rest/api/2/project/TESTPROJ text: No project could be found with key 'TESTPROJ'. response headers = {'Date': 'Thu, 02 Nov 2023 16:36:29 GMT', 'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8', 'Transfer-Encoding': 'chunked', 'Connection': 'keep-alive', 'Set-Cookie': ''; Expires=Thu, 09 Nov 2023 16:36:29 GMT; Path=/, ''; Expires=Thu, 09 Nov 2023 16:36:29 GMT; Path=/; SameSite=None; Secure', 'X-AREQUESTID': '', 'X-ANODEID': '', 'Referrer-Policy': 'strict-origin-when-cross-origin', 'X-XSS-Protection': '1; mode=block', 'X-Content-Type-Options': 'nosniff', 'X-Frame-Options': 'SAMEORIGIN', 'Content-Security-Policy': 'sandbox', 'Strict-Transport-Security': 'max-age=31536000', 'X-AUSERNAME': 'anonymous', 'Cache-Control': 'no-cache, no-store, no-transform', 'Content-Encoding': 'gzip', 'Vary': 'User-Agent'} response text = {"errorMessages":["No project could be found with key 'TESTPROJ'."],"errors":{}} I redacted whatever I thought might've warranted redaction, sorry if I took something important out. I'm thinking the problem might reside in the 'its...' part of the url, but using any of the urls I've seen in other documentation ('.atlassian.net' or 'jira..com') does not connect for both python and in google. Hoping this doesn't mean I will not be able to connect. I've tried using the HTTPRequests method, but could not get it to not error out before even pinging the server, let alone getting a response, so I'd appreciate help related to this library if possible. Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi, Sorry, forgot about this post. For whatever reason, the urllib3 and/or HTTPRequests libraries were not working for me, even when using the solution above. I reached out to my system admins, and they recommended using the Jira module of the 'Atlassian Python API' library. This worked wonderfully and gave me no hiccups, minus some undescriptive HTTP errors when I entered something wrong. The documentation is here: https://atlassian-python-api.readthedocs.io/index.html Below is the basis of the code I used to create an issue using a token: from atlassian import Jira jira = Jira( url='https://its..com', #most Jira sites follow '.atlassian.net' or 'jira..com', but it shouldn't matter token='' ) JiraFields = { 'project':{'key':'TESTPROJ'}, 'issuetype':{'id':'3','name':'Task','subtask':False}, 'summary':'Test Code', 'reporter':{'name':'','key':'JIRAUSER00000'}, 'description':'Test issue description', } jira.issue_create(JiraFields) Note: This may not work in it's current state, as the fields are heavily shortened from what they look like on the Jira backend. I went to the Jira API readout of an existing issue in my project or one I have access to (e.g. https://its..com/rest/api/2/issue/TESTPROJ-1) and copy-pasted the field readouts for the fields listed above, and changed parts of those fields to suit my project/issue as necessary. Note 2: This solution may only work for Jira Datacenter/Server and not for Jira Cloud. Thanks @Mohamed Benziane for the help, even if I ended up finding another solution.

import requests
import urllib3
urllib3.disable_warnings() #use to hide warning, if working you will need to add a certificate to your code

token = "YOUR JIRA TOKEN"

"""

payload = {
    "jql": "project = ABC",
    "startAt": 0,
    "maxResults":10

}

r = requests.post("https://atlassianSite/rest/api/2/search",json=payload,headers={'Authorization': "Bearer " + token},verify=False)

#print(r.status_code)

Here the complete code i'm using to get issue from Jira.

I tried your code but had to add the definition for 'payload'. I also tried my username, email, and just Bearer in that "Bearer " field: token = "******k544*******" payload=json.dumps( { "fields": { "project": { "key": "TESTPROJ" } } } ) r = requests.post("https://its..com/rest/api/2/search",json=payload,headers={'Authorization': "Bearer " + token},verify=False) print(r.status_code) This returns '400' bad request error: C:\Program Files\Spyder\pkgs\urllib3\connectionpool.py:1095: InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made to host 'its..com'. Adding certificate verification is strongly advised. See: https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced-usage.html#tls-warnings warnings.warn( 400 C:\Program Files\Spyder\pkgs\urllib3\connectionpool.py:1095: InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made to host 'its..com'. Adding certificate verification is strongly advised. See: https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced-usage.html#tls-warnings warnings.warn( I'm not very familiar with how the 'json'/'requests'/'HTTPBasicAuth' libraries work, which is why I'd rather work with the 'jira-python' library as shown above, so I know what the code is doing. I'll look into what your code is trying to do, and what inputs it needs, but I've tried the requests library before and could not get it to stop throwing errors.
