Can the free plan use the Cloud REST API for Jira?

[Isidoro]

I am able to use the REST API for Jira Cloud for the companies I work but when I try to use it for my personal account (free plan) I get an error

The URL I'm trying to contact is

https://<my_account>.atlassian.net/rest/api/latest/search 

 that is working for other accounts and not for mine. When trying to access using python I get

requests.exceptions.InvalidSchema: No connection adapters were found for '('https://......atlassian.net/rest/api/3/search',)'

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think it is an authentication problem so I'm wondering if with the free plan you are allowed to use the API or you have to activate it somehow.

Ok, it was my fault :-( The clue is the error message

('https://......atlassian.net/rest/api/3/search',)'

where the URL is not a string but ... a list :-( Just because there was a comma after the string assignment... This is something I hate from Python!

So, the API works for the free accounts too.

Thanks!

hi can you show me full command example that you used?

I dont' know how to call rest api.

AFAIK APIs are not restricted in Free. I don't see any mention of this here or here.

Also found that Opsgenie free supports API - API-support-use-from-free-trial-version

Thanks! I think that too but still struggled with the error I get ... I will keep investigating :-)
