REST API does not return any data with API token

[Aseem Mohanty]

I realize that this has been asked a few times before and I have gone through the threads to no avail. 

I have google oauth based account on JIRA cloud. In the UI I can see all projects, issues, reports and have some admin rights.

My curl request:

curl --request GET --url 'https://org.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/project' --user 'username@org.tld:api_token' --header 'Accept: application/json'

> GET /rest/api/2/project HTTP/2
> Host: org.atlassian.net
> Authorization: Basic <base64-encoded-un/token>
> User-Agent: curl/7.64.1
> Accept: application/json
>

< HTTP/2 200
< server: AtlassianProxy/1.15.8.1
< vary: Accept-Encoding
< cache-control: no-cache, no-store, no-transform
< content-type: application/json;charset=UTF-8

< set-cookie: atlassian.xsrf.token=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Path=/; Secure

* Connection #0 to host org.atlassian.net left intact
[]* Closing connection 0

I am a bit lost as to why this would not work. Based on my reading of the API docs, this should just work. What am I missing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Apparently the . in an email address matters :). 

Solved.
