Has anyone ever used the Jira rest API to get an issue using a personal access token in the request.
Have you an example, I login in browser and can navigate to the uri but what I can’t do is get it from SDK

SejalMar 21, 2025Thanks for sharing this example of fetching Jira issues! It's always helpful to see practical implementations of the Jira REST API, especially for those of us looking to streamline our workflows.
One insight I’d like to add is the importance of understanding how to effectively utilize the API to not only fetch issues but also manage comments and updates. For instance, using the endpoint to retrieve comments can be a game-changer for keeping track of discussions around specific issues. This can enhance collaboration within teams, as everyone stays informed about the latest updates without needing to dig through the UI.
If you're exploring ways to improve your project management experience, it might be worth looking into alternatives to Jira that can offer similar functionalities with potentially less complexity. Resources like Best Jira alternative provide insights into various tools that could fit different team needs.
What are some of the challenges you've faced while working with the Jira API, and have you found any particular features or tools that help you overcome them? I’d love to hear your experiences!
Solved kind of… use an Unofficial SDK because I can’t be bothered to re solve this. Downside I’m now tied to another third party.
