Accessing Jira onDemand with Python

[Yanis Vaks]

import jira.client
from jira.client import JIRA

options = {'server': 'https://address.atlassian.net'}
jira = JIRA(options)    
authed_jira = JIRA(basic_auth=('username', 'password'))

Hi,

I am trying to connect to my ondemand version of Jira using Python. I was abe to get requests module working, but it can't fully satisfy my needs. I tried the Jira Python module wih the cde written above, but all i get in return is this:

requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=2990): Max retries exceeded with url: /jira/rest/api/2/serverInfo (Caused by <class 'socket.error'>: [Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it)

The "Accept remote API calls" option is enabled in Jira Configuration. Could someone help with this please?

I think that the problem is that you construct JIRA twice - once with url and once with auth, so the authed_jira is actually a JIRA instance pointing to http://localhost:2990/using basic auth.

You need to pass both the options containng the server addess and the basic_auth parameter

import jira.client
from jira.client import JIRA
 
options = {'server': 'https://address.atlassian.net'}
jira = JIRA(options, basic_auth=('username', 'password'))
