ACLI for Jira Jql not working

[Venkataraju Duddu]

docker run -ti bobswiftapps/acli:latest acli.sh jiracloud --action getIssueList --jql "issue = CMC-30856" --outputFormat 2 --limit 75 --server https://chegg.atlassian.net/

0 issues

Above command not working even if we have CMC-30856 in our Jira.. 

I can access https://chegg.atlassian.net/browse/CMC-30856 perfect.

Am I doing something wrong in using the ACLI?

it started working when I provided the API token..

Somehow When I tried with user name and password it was coming back with 0 issues

@Venkataraju Duddu  Username and password can't be used as authentication mechanism for Jira Cloud, this is a reason you need API token for basic authentication.
