REST API PHP Curl

[Ideal Lebensversicherung a_G_ Lizenzmanagement]

Hi,

I try to search for issues and display them on a website using PHP and REST API. I don't get how to build the correct curl function. Already tried this way, but i don't receive any data:

function get_issues($url){

    $jira_url = "$url;

    $curl = curl_init();

    $curl_options =  array(

        CURLOPT_URL => $jira_url,

        CURLOPT_USERPWD => "user:password"

    );

    curl_setopt_array($curl, $curl_options);

    $result = curl_exec($curl);

    echo $result;

    curl_close($curl);

}

While I do not use PHP and haven't used curl in years, but here are a few things to double check.

First, make sur you are using an API Token and not the actual user password. See the following for details, https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/basic-auth-for-rest-apis/

Second, for Basic Auth you may need to encode the username/password, before using it. There is an example of this on the page linked to above.

Third, you may not have the correct URL for the REST query. You do not show which endpoint you are trying to use, so we cannot tell.

More generally have you tested this manually by running curl from a command line? You don't say in your post. If you are not already using it I would suggest using the Postman tool to test your queries. Plus Postman will generate code snippets in many "languages" including curl and PHP - curl.
