I would like to see more Postman + Jira API tutorial. Fo example, modify existing tickets in Jira using postman. I'm new to Jira, Postman and general API's as well, this video helped me a lot and I would like to see more.
Summary to create new issue: 1. Login to In your JIRA account. 2. Create API token here: id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens 3. Save the API token for further use 4. Open postman 5. Create new post request 6. enter url: enteryourid.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue 7. In Authorization Tab select Basic Auth 8. In username enter the email id which you used to login to JIRA 9. In password enter the API token created in step 2,3 10. In Body Tab Select raw>JSON and enter below text there as it is: { "fields": { "summary": "Create new issue in jira", "project":{ "id": "10000" }, "issuetype":{ "id":"10003" } }, "issuelist":{ "addto":[] } } 11. Send the request and the issue is created you get status code 201 created! Note: Make sure your project id is 10000. If not sure about your project id first get the project id sending the GET request to enteryourid.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/project. If it is your first ever project on JIRA then by default the id is 10000 according to what i observed.
Thanks, very helpful. But I have an issue. GET requests work like a charm, I get data without issue. As soon as I switch to POST, it stops working and I end up with an error message: "Site temporarily unavailable" and I'm trying to find what could be wrong and I can't figure it out.
am getting error "errorMessages": [ "Issue does not exist or you do not have permission to see it." ], "errors": {} And im working with my Admin Account who creates the Project. Any Ideas? I created a new API token and still not working
Thank you for the helpful video! I am trying to reach the structure plugin via the rest/api in order to send a post request to change the structure. Do you know how to access the json file?
