PowerBI REST API Authntication - API Token

[Ahmad Al-Abbadi]

According to the new changes in Jira API, no more REST API username and password authentication. Am using Jira PowerBI ContentPack and after adding the API Token as in screenshot below it gives an error message.

Thanks in advance for help!

Hi @Ahmad Al-Abbadi ,

Basic authentication with username and password has been replaced by basic authentication with email address and api token.

Therefore, the issue here is that you are trying to use WEB API instead of Basic authentication. 

Please select Basic, enter your email address as the user name and the API Token as the password and confirm this solves the issue.

For further details please see:

• Basic authentication for REST API

Have a nice weekend.
