Creating an issue error using REST API: "project is required"

[Wesley Guthrie]

I'm trying to create an issue using the REST API. I've looked through several examples and videos and cannot find what I could be doing wrong. I keep recieving a 400 Bad Request error...

I'm running the following method:

http://localnet:8080/rest/api/2/issue/

This is my code:

{
 "fields": {
 "project": {
 "key": "TP"
 },
 "summary": "TEST API",
 "description": "Test Description",
 "issuetype": {
 "name": "Task"
 }
 }
}

This is what I recieve back: 

{
 "errorMessages": [],
 "errors": {
 "project": "project is required"
 }
}

Your JSON looks ok, so I suspect that either project TP does not exist or the user you are logging in with does not have permission to create issues in it.

I am seeing the same issue. My json is find and I have a valid project key but still shows me the same error. What are all of the possible reasons for this error?
