Question: How to use credentials when using api to fetch custom field Id

[Aravind Viswanathan]

Hi All,

I'm a newbie and I am still in the learning phase.

Environment : JIRA Server.

I tried writing this simple program to fetch custom field ID using Python. 

Code :

import requests


def custom_fields():
    response = requests.get("https://"JIRA URL"/rest/api/2/field")

    #  # To test the response is working you need to get an output : 200
    # print(response)
    #
    # # This will give you the output in String
    # print(response.text)
    # print(type(response.text))
    #
    # If you want to get the output in json format then try the following which will give you the output in list format.
    #
    # print (response.json())
    # print(type(response.json()))

    my_fields = response.json()

    for field in my_fields:
        print(" Field Name :  {} Field Id : {}".format(field['name'], field['id']))


custom_fields()

and getting an sample output as:

Field Name : Key Field Id : issuekey
Field Name : Time Spent Field Id : timespent
Field Name : Original Estimate Field Id : timeoriginalestimate
Field Name : Project Field Id : project
Field Name : Σ Time Spent Field Id : aggregatetimespent

I believe this is because I am not using credentials to authenticate in the code. I tried following the link https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/basic-authentication/ and tried updating the variable as 

response = requests.get ("curl -u username:password -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' https://"JIRA URL"/rest/api/2/field")

 and getting an error. 

"No connection adapters were found for {!r}".format(url))
requests.exceptions.InvalidSchema: No connection adapters were found for "curl -u username:password -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' https://"JIR URL"rest/api/2/field"

Could you please guide me.

Regards
