The purpose of generating an API token is to allow scripts to access REST APIs for Atlassian Cloud applications using HTTP basic authentication. You need to generate one to access our application. Once generated, copy and save it for future use.

Why to generate API Token ?

  • Atlassian has removed support for use of Basic and Session authentication.

  • If you are NOT using the API token for your user credentials for accessing Cloud sites, you will likely receive: "Remote error: User is not authorized to perform the operation. Response code: 401"

Follow the below steps to generate an API token:

Step 1: Go to the Atlassian Security section by clicking here.

The following screen appears:

Step 2: Click on the Create API token button.

Step 3: Specify any label name and click on the Create button.

The following dialog box with the new API token will appear:

Tip

Copy the above token by clicking on the Copy button.

Step 4: Click on the Close button.

The created tokens will appear in the table as shown below:

Note

The token cannot be reopened seen/copied from the table again if it is not copied and saved for later usage. A new API token must be created.

 

After generating the API token, start with the quick Validation process.
