AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATION

[Shraddha Jaiswal]

I need to use the JIRA REST API. So I want the authorization header. I am not able to generate the authorization code to use it in the header. Please help me how I can generate the authorization to use the jira rest api

Hi - there's some detail on this in this link if you want to use a basic authentication method - https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/basic-authentication/ 

 

There are online tools (eg. https://www.base64encode.org/) that will provide a Base64 encoding of an input string for you (ie. username:password).
