How to authenticate to Jira REST API with Access token

[taiebaf]

I followed the tutorial to get the access token, when i try with the command with Java it's working pretty well as soon as i want to check if the access token is working with a simple CURL command or in REST CLIENT, it always returns me not authenticated

Can you share details of curl command you are using?

Here is sample that you can use to verify if things are working.

curl --request GET \
--url 'https://<SITE_NAME>.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/<ISSUE_KEY>' \
--user '<EMAIL>:<API_TOKEN>' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'

Please replace, <SITE_NAME>, <ISSUE_KEY>, <EMAIL>, <API_TOKEN> with appropriate values.

I followed this tutorial https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/service-desk/jira-rest-api-oauth-authentication/ to generate an access_token, it's working pretty well, i can perform my call with

java -jar OAuthTutorialClient-1.0.jar request https://jiratest.jira.net/rest/api/2/user?username=me\

but when i try with curl or postman

I always get : Authenticated_Failed.

@taiebafYou are mistaking oAuth Token with API Access Token. They are two different things.

Jira cloud provide two ways to login for API,

• oAuth
• Basic Auth

For CURL and Postman you need to basic authentication. Here are links,

Using Basic-authentication - https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/jira-rest-api-basic-authentication/

Generating API token for basic-authentication - https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/api-tokens-938839638.html

Please follow these two guides, and get back. Hopefully your issue will be resolved.
