Jira REST API服务器到服务器身份验证

Question

I didn't find any question that describes how to do server-to-server authentication with Jira API so I'm posting this QA-style. This solution assumes jira cloud but probably translates to other setups as well.

If you are building a webapp and want users to authenticate as themselves, you should look at OAuth as discussed here: Access JIRA API with api key without username and password

But if you want a "service-account"/"bot" account on your server to interact with Jira API as "itself", here is how...

Reference: https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/api-tokens-938839638.html

First you (or site admin) needs to create the bot account. Then log in to the account and create an API token from here (assumes Jira cloud): https://id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens?_ga=2.69222547.2064924674.1559628016-830461555.1535725383

Then you can use [user-email]:[auth-token] as user/password for basic auth. Examples:

Curl

curl -u bot@company.com:AAABBBCCC https://[company].atlassian.net/rest/api/latest/issue/DEV-123

NodeJS got:

const issueContent = await gotService.get(
  'https://[company].atlassian.net/rest/api/latest/issue/DEV-123',
  {
    auth: 'bot@company.com:AAABBBCCC'
  }
)
