Hello,

You need to use an API token instead of your password:

No it didn't worked. I am hitting the URL in postman with Type as Basic Auth. Using user id as gauravj7 and password as what I set as password. can you please elaborate the steps

[Alexey Matveev]

I am not sure what to elaborate. I gave you a link how you can generate an api token. Then use this token instead of your password

[Alexey Matveev]

You still use basic auth, but instead of the password, set the api token

Hi it worked. Right now I am not getting error. But My queries are not giving output

Do I need to give special permission

Thanks for your reply. I changed as per your suggestion. Still I am not getting desired output

When I am using below query I am getting output

https://gauravj7.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/search?jql=assignee in "Gaurav Jain"

{

    "errorMessages": [

        "Field 'assignee' does not exist or this field cannot be viewed by anonymous users."

    ],

    "warningMessages": []

}

When I want to see all issues under project then also I am not getting output. Please help on urgent basis

https://gauravj7.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/search?jql=project="KPIT"

{

    "errorMessages": [

        "The value 'KPIT' does not exist for the field 'project'."

    ],

    "warningMessages": []

}

Please help me on urgent basis

You are still not authenticated. Also the correct api for cloud is:

 /rest/api/3/search
