How to authenticate to JIRA REST API using Basic authentication

[Abhishek Jaswal]

So as we know  we can authenticate to JIRA REST API using two methods OAUTH2.0 and Basic authentication

By OAUTH2.0 - 1) we do an AUTH call

                         2) then with the authorization code we do an access token call

                         3) then in response to the access token API call we get the access token

BUT , how to authenticate JIRA REST API using BASIC AUTH ?

Is there any way we can check whether the BASIC AUTH call is write or wrong ?

Is there any specific way to check that?????

Hello @Abhishek Jaswal ,

I am not sure I understand 100% what you are asking for and I might have already answered part of your question in the other thread you have created (HOW TO do authorization code call in POSTMAN). However, you can find information and examples on how to use basic auth for REST APIs in the below documentation page:

• Basic auth for REST APIs

Please review above documentation page and let me know if further help is still needed.

Cheers,
