Guard Dog Proxy for Jira

Making calls via the proxy

  1. Using the proxy URL shared by the Jira administrator, construct the request URL like this:

    {REST_PROXY_URL}?path={JIRA_REST_API_PATH}
    
  2. Provide an authorization header, like in the code box below. (Please refer to Basic auth for REST APIs to learn more):

    Authorization: Basic <credentials>
    
  3. Provide a request body if necessary.

  4. The resulting request should look like the example below ( info We intentionally left the code on one line to reduce the error margin during copying of the code.)

    curl 'https://xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.hello.atlassian-dev.net/x1/sOV8tMqkZABOLb3t8pmcZfcX48k?path=/rest/api/2/issue/ABC-123' --header 'Authorization: Basic <credentials>'
    

Note: Forge apps using requestJira are incompatible with the proxy, as the proxy URL must be prepended to the request.
