Access JIRA issues via Jira REST API

[Ron Jacob]

We are creating an intake process to automate the JIRA ticket creation.

I’m trying to access JIRA issues via Jira REST API but its giving a 401 or 403 error (Access denied or forbidden) error. I’m using CURL or nodejs wrapper.

I do have Jira admin access

How to get access to the JIRA API and what authentication should I use (token based, basic (user/password)?
