Insight REST API with JSM Data Center

[Couraillon Theo]

Hello, 

I am trying to use the Insight REST API for Jira Service Management (Data Center) in order to get the value of some attributes of my objects, but I can't find the right URL to use.

This documentation REST API documentation says to use the following URL: 

https://jira/rest/insight/{version}

While this documentation Insight REST API says to use the following URL: 

https://host:port/context/rest/insight/api-version/resource-name

Also, before when I was using the cloud version of JSM, I used this link to create an authentication token and then use it as follows:

curl --user <user_email_address>:<user_token> --request GET --url 'https://<domain>.atlassian.net/rest/servicedeskapi/insight/workspace' --header 'Accept: application/json' 

But I don't quite understand how the authentication is done with the Data Center version. Could you please help me?

Thank you, 

Théo.

Hello Peter-Dave, 

I finally managed to use the API by creating a Personal Access Tokens and by using:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" https://jirahost/rest/insight/1.0/objectschema/list 

Thank you.
Théo.

You should find all information about authenticating to Server/Data center here: https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/security-overview/

This will be true regardless of whether you are accessing Jira or Insight api.

If you are configured for using SAML either using DC or server with third party plugin, basic authentication with the user's password may not work. You may need to use API tokens instead.

As far as the URL, you should be able to get attributes for an object like this:

https://jirahost/context/rest/insight/latest/object/<objectid>

I don't know if there is a more recent version, but I still occasionally consult this page: https://insight-javadoc.riada.io/insight-javadoc-8.6/insight-rest/  (the certificate is expired)
