How to Access the Jira API

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to generate and manage API tokens in your Jira account.

Quick summary

The Jira API token is required to authenticate external tools and integrations with your Atlassian account. You can create and manage API tokens directly from your Atlassian Account Settings under the Security tab.


Steps

  1. In your Jira space, head to the top-right corner and click your Profile icon.
  2. Click Account Settings from the dropdown menu.
  3. Navigate to the top menu bar and tap the Security tab.
  4. Scroll down to the API Tokens section and click Create and Manage API Token.
  5. You can now access and manage all API tokens associated with your Jira account.

📌 Why this matters

Jira API tokens are essential for securely connecting third-party tools, automation scripts, and CI/CD pipelines to your Atlassian account without exposing your password. Teams that rely on integrations — from reporting dashboards to DevOps workflows — need a valid API token to authenticate REST API requests. Knowing exactly where to generate and manage these tokens in Jira saves time and reduces onboarding friction for developers and admins. This demo makes the process clear and repeatable in under five steps.
