For further information, click here to access the REST APIs documentation.

To use these APIs, you need a JWT token for authorization.

To create a new token:

  1. Navigate to Settings > API Token.

  2. Click New Token to create a token.

  3. Name your token, select when it'll expire, or check the Never expire box to make sure the token doesn’t expire in a certain time period, and how much access it will have. Click Save.

For security reasons, we do not recommend generating tokens that never expire. Please be aware that if this token is somehow exposed, you will need to delete it manually, as it will not expire automatically.

  1. The JWT Token will appear. Save it by clicking the icon shown below. Keep in mind that you won’t be able to access this code after closing the pop-up.

  1. Click Cancel after copying the token, and the token will appear on the main page.

  2. Replace {{jwtToken}} in the header with your token.

How to Give JWT Permission:

We’ll give you an example of giving JWT authorization using Postman.

  1. Open the TTS REST APIs documentation.

  2. Click Run in Postman > Postman for Web.

  3. On the Postman main page, click Workspaces > My Workspaces.

  4. Click to add a new permission.

  5. Here, to give authorization, first copy and paste the link of the token you’ve chosen from here.

  1. Click Headers.

  2. Under KEY, write Authorization.

  3. Under Value, write “Bearer (paste the token you’ve created and copied)”

  4. Click Send.

  5. Tada! You’ve successfully given the JWT authorization.

Rest Call Example

For better comprehension, we included definitions for some values of an example response below.

Example Response for “Get Issue SLA of Issue”

slaValue

This is also related to the the SLA goal. We keep this value in milliseconds.

This is the Target Date. We keep this value in unix timestamp. If you want to convert it to human readable form date, you can use a converter.
