How to add comment in Jira using rest api

harsha vardhan · February 22, 2017

I work with JIRA 6.3.9. I need to add comment in issue. For making POST request i use program Postman. I have administrator account.
My post request https://88.208***/rest/api/2/issue/13138/comment
In Administration I indicate Type Basic Auth and Username, Password of administrator account
In field body i write:

{
"body": "My comment.",
"visibility": {
"type": "role",
"value": "Administrators"
}
}

Answer:

&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;title&gt;Apache Tomcat/7.0.55 - Error report&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;style&gt;
&lt;!--H1 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:22px;} H2 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:16px;} H3 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:14px;} BODY {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:black;background-color:white;} B {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;} P {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;background:white;color:black;font-size:12px;}A {color : black;}A.name {color : black;}HR {color : #525D76;}--&gt;
&lt;/style&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;HTTP Status 415 - Unsupported Media Type&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;HR size="1" noshade="noshade"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;type&lt;/b&gt; Status report
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;message&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;u&gt;Unsupported Media Type&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;description&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;u&gt;The server refused this request because the request entity is in a format not supported by the requested resource for the requested method.&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;HR size="1" noshade="noshade"&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Apache Tomcat/7.0.55&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;

I also tried like that:
POST https://88.208***/rest/api/2/issue/13138
in body

{
"body": "My comment." 
}

or

{
"update": {
"comment": [
{
"add": {
"body": "It is time to finish this task"
}
}
]
}
}

Error is the same.
Atlassian documentation says about request parameter expand, but i don't know how to use it

I don't know what to do. Help, please
