Based on the Atlassian documentation basic authentication with passwords has been deprecated. (Please, refer to https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/deprecation-notice-basic-auth-and-cookie-based-auth/ for more information)

In order to access Atlassian resources through the API, the API token is required. 

Create API Token

Create an API token from your Atlassian account:

1.Log in to https://id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens.


2.Click Create API token.


3. From the dialog that appears, enter a memorable and concise Label for your token and click Create.


4.Click Copy to clipboard, then paste the token to your script, or elsewhere to save.

Note:

  • For security reasons it isn't possible to view the token after closing the creation dialog; if necessary, create a new token.
  • You should store the token securely, just as for any password.
