Jira-CLI init: "✗ Received unexpected response '403 Forbidden' from jira." for Jira Cloud on Windows

[Zsolt Esse]

Hi All,

I keep getting this error when trying to init Jira command-line interface by jira-cli :
"✗ Received unexpected response '403 Forbidden' from jira."

I created my API token at https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens
Then I saved this to an environment variable (I tried both user and system level). I also created a second variable called JIRA_AUTH_TYPE, and put "bearer" string into it, indicating it is not basic authentication, altough  we are using Jira Cloud, so I shouldn't need this.
In addion I save these values in variables in powershell's $profile file, to make sure these variables are "visible" for powershell/ Jira CLI.

Then I run ```jira``` init (jira.exe from bin of jira_cli. )
I selected Cloud option, then give our server link ( https://domain-of-my-company.atlassian.net) and my email address for jira. Still I get this error message.

Also I tried git bash, and I tried to save my API key to $HOME/.bashrc, but the same thing happened.

What am I missing?
Thank you!

Hi @Zsolt Esse

Welcome to the Atlassian community,

Could you please confirm whether you using the app Jira Command Line Interface (CLI) app?

Hi,
I don't think so. It's https://github.com/ankitpokhrel/jira-cli

Wanted to be sure you had seen this:

It didn't help me, but maybe it'll help you!  And if it does, please post back here and let us know how you solved it.

Hi Brad!

I tried this curl (modified to use our project, of course):

curl --request GET \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $JIRA_API_TOKEN" \
  --url 'https://<host>.atlassian.net/rest/agile/1.0/board?projectKeyOrId=IT'

But I got this error:

"error": "Failed to parse Connect Session Auth Token"}

When I tried this curl:

curl --request GET \
  --user "<email>:$JIRA_API_TOKEN" \
  --url 'https://<host>.atlassian.net/rest/agile/1.0/board?projectKeyOrId=IT'

Then I got this message:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><status><status-code>401</status-code><message>Client must be authenticated to access this resource.</message></status>


I didn't find the "product" page jonasrathgeber is talking about, either.
