What has to be done in order to use the api for retrieving license data?

[Preston_Taukulis]

I am trying to retrieve license data via the atlassian rest api for the jira software I am using. The site that I am using to find said information is https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-retrieve-application-license-details-or-set-the-license-via-private-rest-api-in-jira-7+-934728265.html

When I use the api detailed in the site: 

/rest/plugins/applications/1.0/installed/jira-software/license

I get a 404 error. Is there something that I need to setup in order to retrieve the data?

Hello Preston,

Welcome to the community.

The reference you found is only for JIRA Server. According to the settings on your post, you are using JIRA Cloud.

The API reference for JIRA Cloud can be found at

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/1000.824.0/

There does not appear to be an endpoint in the Cloud REST API for getting details about the license.

Thank you, we will use it for the Jira Server instances instead.

If you are, in fact, trying to use this against a JIRA Server (not Cloud) deployment, please show us the code you're executing.

If you are new to using the REST API I recommend that you review the documentation on how to use the REST API. The documentation also includes examples.
