Authorization with Python

[nitjin01]

Hi,

I want to access my organization's JIRA database using python. I read many blogs about it but could not find proper solution. I am not able to pass the authentication step. 

Following is the url from where I can access the JIRA content through browser.

https://<organizationname>cloud.atlassian.net/jira/your-work.

and I have the following constraints

1) I don't have JIRA admin rights and I just want to access my own conten

2) For signing in my organization is using SSO of Microsoft.

It would be great if someone can guide me on this.

Thanks in advance,

Nitin

Hello @nitjin01 

Welcome to the community.

You can use the jira module for python and try this:

from jira import JIRA

jira_cloud = JIRA(basic_auth=("username", "api_token"), options={'server': 'https://url.atlassian.net/'})

Here the documentation to create an api token

Thanks a lot Mohamed_Benziane. :)

It worked for me.

I was doing the following, which was not working for me.

jira = JIRA(jira_server, auth=(username, token))
