Facing problem while authentication with Rest Api using node js

[ABHAY D DESHMUKH]

Hi ,

I am using

 https://mydomain.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/search?jql=project = 'project' AND issuetype = 'story'

query to retrieve data from JIRA.

My node js code :

const requestObj = {

headers: { 'content-type': 'application/json' },

url: "https://mydomain.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/search?jql=project = 'myproject' AND component = 'mycomponeny' and issuetype = 'story'",

auth: { Basic: ('myid@project.com:vtrhtututitittitfterew').toString('base64') },

 Accept: 'application/json'

};

I am getting error "auth mechanism is not defined"

I have also tried 

auth: { bearer: ('myid@mydomain.atlassian.net:vtrhtututitittitfterew').toString('base64') },

 auth: { Basic: ('myid@mydomain.atlassian.net:vtrhtututitittitfterew').toString('base64') },

But I am still getting error "auth mechanism is not defined"

your help is highly appreciated.

Regards,

Abhay

Hi @ABHAY D DESHMUKH 

I use C# as opposed to js, but the differences that I notice are :

• I use Authorization and you seem to use auth
• I use Basic, so stick with that one
• The format looks like 
  Authorization: Basic vkd2FycmVuLmxld

Hopefully you can get something out of this to help you

Thanks Warren 
The format I have used is mentioned in Jira rest api documentation.
I have tried with Authorization and basic and it work properly.

Hi can you let me know what was the Authorization header you used . I tried but it's not going through

Hi @CrazyAs5assin 

So my header looks like

Authorization: Basic encodedDetails

where encodedDetails is the 64 bit encoded combination of the Jira e-mail address and the API key.

If this doesn't help you, you'll need to give more info about what you're trying to do, what you've done and what problem you're facing.
