Hi @Mrunali Gaikwad welcome on the community, what version of Jira do you use?

In older versions you need to use

  • rest/api/2/issue

Welcome to the Atlassian Community @Mrunali Gaikwad

Martin is correct in that you need to use /rest/api/2/issue on jira server to create an issue.

It is interesting, Atlassian probably reworked REST API, in last version the documentation works with /rest/issue, as @Mrunali Gaikwad mentioned. There is a difference :)

I am using 8.19.1

and the site gives me the resource as below

 

When i used /rest/api/2/issue it worked but the one provided in the documentation does not.

Is that an incorrect info on the official site ?

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/8.19.1/#issue-createIssue

It looks like the documentation is not correct... I will mark this question with label so Atlassian team can check it.

Can you work with /rest/api/2/issue ?

Hi,

Sorry for the inconvenience, it does appear that the current documentation has different endpoint names than the previous versions.  Also these new names don't seem to be working for me either.  I have created a bug for this over with our documentation team in https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-72844

I suspect that this is something the documentation team will need to investigate further to resolve this.  In the meantime, I recommend trying to follow the 8.18 documentation over in https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/8.18.0/ as this still appears to be working correctly for me when using the 8.19 version of Jira Server/Data Center.

Cheers,

Andy
