how can I use JSESSIONID to get any issue by using jira api

[Prashant_Shri]

Hi,

I have used "/rest/auth/1/session" rest call with my credentials  to get session id. and it has provided me the json like -

{
"session": {
"name": "JSESSIONID",
"value": "42424424242342434234.node1"
},
"loginInfo": {
"failedLoginCount": 6,
"loginCount": 356,
"lastFailedLoginTime": "2019-07-09T08:55:26.560+0000",
"previousLoginTime": "2019-07-11T17:42:08.837+0000"
}
} 

now i want to use this session to get all tickets assigned to me in jira. how do i send this session with my other rest call to get tickets detail. 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Prashant_Shri ,

Please, refer to https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/cookie-based-authentication/ as it demonstrate on how to set up the cookie with JSESSIONID retrieved.

Then, to get all the tickets assign to you, you could run Jira's search REST API endpoint using JQL https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.6.1/#api/2/search using the JSESSION in the request header.

If you are working with a language that is not in the documentation mentioned, please specify the language and we from Atlassian Community can comment on with source code example.

Kind regards,

Rafael

What if I want to set the cookie with JSESSIONID when I make Javascript XMLHttpRequest? Is it impossible? I only see an example for Nodejs. If it is impossible, what is the correct way to make XMLHttpRequests from Javascript to Jira Rest Api?
