Why my Jira token doesn't work for my API requests?

[Andrey Yermolov]

I have an application that uses Jira APIs to get data. Use to it used Basic Authentication and worked fine. Unfortunately, Jira revoked that ability. According to Jira I should use an API Token now. I created one under my account and tried to use it as a Bearer Token or as a password. Neither one works. What should I do?

Hello,

API token is not used as a bearer token.

You should use it with the basic authentication. Do everything like with basic authentication, but instead of the password, use the api token.
