Can you please explain how you get the authorization token, and set it up for subsequent usage . What is see is a lot folks struggle at the very first step around authentication and validation of the user trying to access JIRA

Very helpful video to understand jira rest API.. can you help me with extracting the output in JSON

[@ruthinrak9901]

In confluence page, I am maintaining server inventory list in one page. If any changes happen to a specific column in that page, it should create Jira ticket with corresponding actions. In my case, i am doing migration work, so whenever new server updated in confluence page, i want a ticket to be created for further actions to the new entity in confluence page. I want Jira tickets to be generated as automation, should not have manual intervention. Could you please give suggestion, how to do this?

[@ravs]

Using ScriptRunner you can do that. There are page events that you can use.
