why are we receiving " 401 unauthorized" on registering Jira webhook with OAuth2.0 ?

[Jaswanth Boyidi name]

we have followed the documentation for the implementation. but we are receiving 401 unauthorized even though right scopes and tokens are provided. please confirm whether webhook registration with OAuth2.0 is working or not? Please confirm this ASAP.
our request looks like this

curl --location --request POST 'https://XXXXX.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/webhook' \

--header 'Authorization: Bearer XXXXXXXXX' \

--header 'x-atlassian-force-account-id: true' \

--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

--data-raw '{

   "url": "https://XXXXXXXX/webhook-recieved",

   "webhooks": [

      {

         "jqlFilter": "project = XXX",

         "events": ["jira:issue_created", "jira:issue_updated"]

      }]

}'

Hi @Jaswanth Boyidi name , welcome to the Community!

It looks like the Authorization header is what's causing the problem. In the example above, a Bearer type token is used. Atlassian Cloud's authorization uses tokens generated from id.atlassian.com , but these tokens go in place of what would typically be the password in user/pass type authorization. So your example:

curl --location --request POST 'https://XXXXX.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/webhook' \

--header 'Authorization: Bearer XXXXXXXXX' \

would instead need to be:

curl --location --request POST 'https://XXXXX.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/webhook' \

 --user 'email@example.com:<api_token>' \

where the email address is the actual email address of the account that created the API token at https://id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens , and the <api_token> is the token generated and copied from that page.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi @Daniel Eads ,

so Isn't it possible to register webhooks with OAuth2.0(3LO) using Bearer <Accesstoken>, as using the email address and api_token will be Basic Auth. could you please confirm if it is possible with OAuth2.0(3LO) using Bearer <Accesstoken>. sorry in advance if I'm wrong.
