Authentication

Atlassian account email + API token for direct REST/GraphQL calls compound discovered Get key ↗

Authorization: Basic <credential>

Create an API token in Atlassian account security. Use it together with your Atlassian account email in HTTP Basic auth for direct calls to Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, and tenanted GraphQL endpoints such as https://<site>.atlassian.net/gateway/api/graphql. Atlassian documents this as suitable for scripts and manual calls.

Atlassian OAuth 2.0 (3LO) app client credentials oauth2 discovered Set up OAuth ↗

Authorization: Bearer <credential>

In the Atlassian developer console, create an app, open Authorization, configure OAuth 2.0 (3LO), add your callback URL and product scopes, then use the app's client_id and client_secret from Settings. Users authorize the app in the browser, and you send the resulting bearer access token to Atlassian APIs via Authorization: Bearer.
