problems changing email address on cloud using rest api

[Jay Keck]

I had a script that ran on the server that would read in a file and change the email addresses of specific users. It worked great. I went to use it on the cloud and after changing the api syntax fo cloud access it still wasn't working. Is this 301 error due to the fact that Atlassian is phasing out usernames and they have removed api access to them? Or is it a dymb syntax error? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Jay

I found my problem. I needed to use https vs http. Now I'm getting a 405 error, but it's progress.....
