How to update user avatars with Jira's current Datacenter API?

[Brandon Jabout]

For new users that are registered into Jira Datacenter upon hire, I had a Python script that would load their avatar in from another source into Jira via the REST API. That has failed recently and I have been investigating why. I have been looking at the Jira Datacenter Avatar Documentation for information, but even with that I cannot seem to get it working. I have been experimenting with CURL commands, and this is the closest I've gotten with setting a temporary avatar. The response back is a 400. How would I do this successfully? I am using version 10.5.1. This command is testing this functionality on a local running instance.

curl -u admin:admin \
-X POST \
-H "X-Atlassian-Token: no-check" \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-F "filename=@admin.jpg" \
"http://127.0.0.1:8080/rest/api/2/avatar/user/temporary?username=admin"

Response:

{"errorMessages":[null],"errors":{}}

Hi @Brandon Jabout 

I think your URL is incorrect. The API call for creating an avatar is

/rest/api/2/avatar/user/temporary

Your example has "user" and "avatar" reversed.

@Jim Knepley - ReleaseTEAM whoops! Good catch! Fixed the URL, but still getting the same error. I updated the example with the updated url.
