Can We Acces Jira API Through Application Credential ?

[Mithila Lishan]

I want to integrate Jira APIs into a third-party application. Based on the documentation, it seems we access the API using the following credentials:

Username: Jira username
Password: Jira API Token

Is it possible to access the API using application credentials instead of user credentials?

Hello @Mithila Lishan 

I suggest that you might want to re-read the Authentication and authorization section of the Jira Cloud REST API documentation again, as the exact answer to your question is right there, in the Other Integrations section.

You can absolutely use an email address plus API token pair as credentials.

Note that you will have to pass them in a request header!

Hello @Aron Gombas _Midori_ 

The OP is asking for credentials INSTEAD OF user / Basic auth (email address + token) credentials.
