OAuth 2.0 authorization code grants for 3 legged OAuth (3LO) for apps.Instead you would need to first generate a user API token from more details in in regards to how you can use this in basic auth requests Cloud still does permit Basic auth, however it has deprecated the cleartext use of passwords (that's a security win for everyone).Note: Cloud has deprecated support for cookie based auth (You can't use this in Atalssian Cloud prodcuts anymore).Other ways to make REST calls in Jira Cloud

You can find the source of this library and examples on how to use it in This handshake can be in any of various languages such as java, python, perl, ruby, nodejs, etc. As such, curl can't parse what this library is doing.
In order to do the handshakes required for OAuth use, your REST calls are expected to utilize a programming library that Atlassian has provided. It's a detail that lots of users miss and I fear Atlassian has not sufficient documented just yet. However if you're wanting to using OAuth (not the API token created from ), you won't be able to use curl to authenticate. If you're using basic auth in Jira Cloud, then using a utility like curl can work here with an API token. More details on the creation are in These tokens as part of Basic auth as described in It is possible you can create your own API token at These are only for Atlassian Cloud sites. See Form token handling, to work through how to implement form token handling in Jira. This is used to provide another level of security against cross-site request forgery (XSRF). Form token handlingįorm token handling is an additional authentication mechanism for apps that lets Jira validate the origin and intent of requests. However, there are additional steps to follow to make your app secure, such as using form token handling. Jira Server apps run alongside the product code, so you don’t need to call the REST API. See Cookie-based authentication, to learn how to call Jira using cookies. However, we recommend you use OAuth or Basic authentication in most cases. You can rely on this to call the REST API from the browser (for example, via JavaScript). Jira uses cookie-based authentication in the browser. See Basic authentication, to work through an example of calling Jira with basic authentication. It may be easier to implement, but it is much less secure. We recommend that you don’t use basic authentication, except for tools like personal scripts or bots. Basic authenticationīasic authentication uses a predefined set of user credentials to authenticate. See OAuth, to learn how to implement a client that uses OAuth.
It takes more effort to implement, but it is more flexible and secure compared to the other two authentication methods. We recommend using OAuth when you integrate with Jira. OAuth uses request tokens generated from Jira to authenticate users. Jira Server Developer blog's page on Security Overview explains the different authentication and authorization you can use with Jira Server. Examples of these libraries in different languages and source code can be found in īut if you're using curl, and you're using Jira Server, you can still utilize basic auth or cookie based auth for making REST calls. If you're using OAuth, you can't use curl. The use of OAuth tokens requires that you utilize a programming library in a language such as Java, perl, python, nodejs, etc in order to make these calls. There are tokens that can be created, but these are OAuth tokens. Jira Server does not have the same kind of API tokens that can be created for Atlassian Cloud products. There are different kinds of tokens to refer to below. Platforms here refers to the difference between Server and Atlassian Cloud products. There are different methods for authenticating to the REST API in regards to Jira, but each platform has some slightly different authentication methods available to them and as such have different use cases. I wanted to add a more comprehensive and clarifying answer here, sorry if it's long-winded: As a result, I think that some people searching google that come across this issue find the answer confusing or misleading for their own use cases. Moses' reply does provide ways to use OAuth to authenticate via REST, but this method does not utilize curl (and I can't find a way to use curl with OAuth). Saranya is asking about how to use a different authentication method other than Basic with curl. Having reviewed this question, it appears that the question asked and the answer given don't exactly match up here.
