Hi Koushik,

First, what is the http status that you receive when POST-ing this to Jira? This might tell you what exactly is failing. It can be that a field is required and you're not providing it or it could be that you're not authenticated.

Make sure that the user you are using to authenticate the calls has the create issue permission. You might wanna use API Tokens for basic auth. Then, please check the documentation for syntax here:

Hi @Koushik Dey 

Use the POST method and url should be https://xxx.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/ not https://xxx.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/createmeta

The later URL gets the data that needs to be populated at the time of creation of the issue
