An API key or Bearer Token in the Jira environment is a unique identifier used to authenticate and authorize requests made to Jira's REST API by third-party applications or services. The API key enables the integrations by allowing the apps to communicate securely with Jira.

Step 1: Go to admin.atlassian.com.

Your API key will be generated. Copy and Save it for the future future.

Ensure you store these values in a safe place because the API key cannot be seen/copied from the table if it is not saved for later usage. A new API key must be created.
