Can I authenticate using just a username and api_token?

[John Lawlor]

Hi,

We don't use email to login in my organisation, just a username and password. 

Can I use the username and api_token with rest api and c#? 

e.g

var base64Credentials =    Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("username:api_token_string"));
request.Headers.TryAddWithoutValidation("Authorization", $"Bearer {base64Credentials}");

Thanks,

Hi @John Lawlor 

Generally if you have an API token you may not even need your username. However I am unsure of interaction with C# though there are extensive python jira libraries for both cloud and data center: https://jira.readthedocs.io/

Best,
