 string url = "https://actjira.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/project";
            HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url) as HttpWebRequest;
            request.ContentType = "application/json";
            
            request.Method = "POST";
            string base64Credentials = GetEncodedCredentials();
            request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + base64Credentials);
            request.ContentLength = data.Length;
            try
            {
                using (var reqStream = request.GetRequestStream())
                using (StreamWriter writer1 = new StreamWriter(reqStream))
                {

            }
            catch (Exception e1)
            {
                throw e1;// error handling code
            }




 private string GetEncodedCredentials()
        {
            string mergedCredentials = string.Format("{0}:{1}", "username", "password");
            byte[] byteCredentials = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(mergedCredentials);
            return Convert.ToBase64String(byteCredentials);
        }

I reffered below url
https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/latest/#api/2/project-createProject and Passing data

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

You appear to be calling the create function without giving it any data.

Hi Nic Brough Thanks for your response. I passing data in same format below mentioned url. I not able to give here that format here i getting error when i click button https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/latest/#api/2/project-createProject string data= "\"fields\": { \"project\": { \"id\": \"TJI\" }, \"description\": \"Hellow why doesn't this work\", \"summary\": \"REST ye merry gentlemen.\", \"issuetype\": { \"name\": \"Bug\" } } ";

string data passing to API

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

The fields in there are for issue creation/update, not project. Try sending it the correct data format, as listed in the link you've given.

[Binu George]

string data = "{\"key\": \"EX1\",\"name\": \"Example1\",\"projectTypeKey\": \"software\",\"description\": \"Example Project description\",\"url\": \"http://actjira.atlassian.net\"}" I tried this. But not working

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Ok, is EX1 a valid project key in your system? What error message / response are you getting to this call?

[Binu George]

I try to create new project with this key. I not getting any error message or response But when i debug my code below mentioned code executing using (var reqStream = request.GetRequestStream()) using (StreamWriter writer1 = new StreamWriter(reqStream)) { writer1.Write(data); }

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

There's always a response of some sort, unless the call works, so my best guess is that your code is not actually performing the call, or it's not processing the response. I can't help you with your .net code, I don't use it.

[Binu George]

Are you able to say what are the possibility of non performing call?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Start by ignoring your code. On a command line, try a simple "curl" call to create the project (have a look at the example code in the docs for doing that). That will always give you a response of some sort. If it fails, you'll get an error telling you why. If it works, then you know your code is not performing the call.

How make REST API option enable in Jira ?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

If you're on Server, check Admin -> General Settings -> Remote API is enabled (it is on by default) If you're on Cloud, then it's enabled.

[Binu George]

Toady i getting error message from Jira when i try to add project. That messge i giving below StatusCode: MethodNotAllowed, Content-Type: text/html;charset=UTF-8, Content-Length: 0 whats meaning of this?

[HarryH]

Please make sure REST API option is enabled in JIRA.

[Binu George]
