My company is using Jira Enterprise and I want to access my team's board and my own tickets through the Jira API. I am working on setting up a react app for an internal project we will use for onboarding and other small initiatives. I cannot create an API Key through my account (I've done this in the past for other companies, but I just don't seem to have the option currently), and I am seeing that basic auth using my username and password has been deprecated? Is there a way I can access my Jira content (that I am able to see in the browser when I am logged into my account through my company)?
We use Jira Enterprise and as an example, the url I use to access our current sprint is: https://jira.{myCompany}.com/jira/secure/RapidBoard.jspa
Many thanks!
Hello @Laura
Jira Enterprise comes in two flavours:
You will have to liaise with your sysadmins to determine which flavour and version you have, and what type of Basic Auth methods it supports.
Hi @Laura,
Welcome to Atlassian Community!
You can create an API key if you go to id.atlassian.com. Under security you can create and manage your keys.

Thank you @Mikael Sandberg - I have tried this and it seems I don't have access/this isn't available to me on our account, which is why I was trying to go the basic auth route w/ a username/pw. Since that is deprecated, is there another way around this?

You have to use the account that is associated with your instance. 99% if the endpoints in Jira require an API token, exceptions are some JSM endpoints.

I'm afraid not, you need to use the API key route now.

One question:
in your initial post you mentioned you want to get „your own issues“ - how could you own issues when u are not associated with/have a user in a jira instance?
Best
