Can i use jwt authentication to fetch jira rest api data

[FAsmani]

Hello @Atlassian Team Leader ,

I am creating an Asp.net 5 application to fetch jira rest api data. I wanted to ask you that can I use  JWT authentication to fetch jira rest api data?

Please let me know at your earliest convenience

Thanks,

Femina Asmani

Hi Femina,

JWT tokens can be used to retrieve REST API info, but this is only available through our Connect framework.  More information is available in Understanding JWT for Connect apps.  If this framework is not what you are looking for then perhaps take a look at the Security overview, as it explains the other ways you can authenticate to our REST API in Cloud.
