When I am trying to create issue in Jira through API getting "project is required" error.

[Puja Singh]

I have used  Post method  http://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/issue

I have used cookies authentication i.e. JSESSIONID="23909FF73EF9312672D50AC574B4D846" and Content-Type as application/json

Getting 400 Bad requests. Could you please help me in resolving this?

{ "fields" : 

  {

       "project" :

       {

            "key": "TCS"

       },

       "summary": "REST API.",

       "description": "something went wrong",

       "issuetype": 

       {

           "name": "Bug"

       }

   }

}

{

    "errorMessages": [],

    "errors": {

        "issuetype": "Could not find issuetype by id or name.",

        "project": "project is required"

    }

}

Hi @Puja Singh -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

If you search in this community's posts, you may find several similar questions/posts, and what helped for those was:

• Confirm your authentication has not expired
• Use version 3 of the REST API for this call, https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issues/#api-rest-api-3-issue-post
• Confirm there is actually a project with that key name, and that you have permission to access it

Kind regards,
Bill
