API Tokens Authentication
1. Creating an API Token
To create an API token navigate to My settings > API tokens. Click create new token and choose the UNIQUE label.
Remember to save the returned token or you will lose access to it forever.
2. Admin API Token management
Jira Admins have access to all users' API tokens. Admin can invalidate all tokens of one user or individual token.
3. Invalidating API Token
API Token may be invalidated. Invalidation of API token prevents further use of the API Token.
4. Obtaining base URL
You have to obtain JWT from any request to /cloudmanager made from your JiraUsing endpoint:
https://cloud.softwareplant.com/cloudmanager/bigpicture/where-am-i
With Authorization header set to:
APIToken <obtainedApiToken>Will return location e.g. https://cloud.softwareplant.com/bigpicture/jiracloud/101
Curl example:
curl --location --request GET 'https://cloud.softwareplant.com/cloudmanager/bigpicture/where-am-i' \
--header 'Authorization: APIToken <<Your API Token>>'5. Using API token
You can create full URL using baseUrl you obtained in 4. by combining it with actual application endpoint
https://cloud.softwareplant.com/bigpicture/jiracloud/101/rest/system/user/current/profile/data
Curl example:
curl --location --request GET 'https://cloud.softwareplant.com/bigpicture/jiracloud/108/rest/system/user/current/profile/data' \
--header 'Authorization: APIToken <<Your Api Token>>'Best practices:
It's highly suggested to create a dedicated Jira user for integration purposes. Add Application access to this user and generate API tokens using him.
