HI Team,

Hey @Kumaresan_Subramani ,

Thanks for including your steps and curl call here to help diagnose the issue you're seeing!

I see that you're trying to submit a comment to Jira Cloud. Earlier this year, we forced a change from passwords to API tokens in REST API calls. Based on the error you're seeing, I believe you may be passing your Jira password (rather than an API token) in your request. Switching to an API token should resolve this error.

Details about how to use these with Atlassian Cloud are listed here. In short, you generate a new token from id.atlassian.com and use that in place of a password. The advantage to this is that you can have multiple tokens on your account (one per application) and they can be easily revoked!

Cheers,
Daniel

HI @Daniel Eads ,

Thank You so much for your reply,

I have created `api token` and now i am facing below error while using below curl command

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

C:\Users\J**a>curl -u kumaresan.subramani:c************1 -X POST --data '{"body": "comment."}' -H "Content-type: application/json" https://****.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/****/comment

ERROR Message

curl: (3) [globbing] unmatched close brace/bracket in column 9
{"errorMessages":["Unexpected character (''' (code 39)): expected a valid value (number, String, array, object, 'true', 'false' or 'null')\n at [Source: org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteInputStream@38a28add; line: 1, column: 2]"]}
C:\Users\JeevakanthPalaniappa>

Then i discovered what i am missing from below issue:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/How-to-add-comments-using-rest-api/qaq-p/571351#M115617

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So i have tried my curl command like below but this command also throws an error:

C:\Users\J**a>curl -u kumaresan.subramani:c************1 -X POST --data "{\"body\": \"comment.\"}" -H "Content-type: application/json" https://****.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/****/comment

ERROR Message

{"errorMessages":["Issue does not exist or you do not have permission to see it."],"errors":{}}

But task is in open stage and not get closed

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 I have used below curl and referred from this documentation:

C:\Users\****>curl -D- -u kumaresan.subramani:**** -X POST --data { "body": "This is a comment regarding the quality of the response." } -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://****.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/****/comment
