I need help finding the API token for trying out the automation api

Hi,

I need help finding the API token for trying out the automation api

My team leader made me an admin but I don’t see the Account Settings tab

it’s described here: Global and Personal API Tokens - PractiTest

Hi,

In order to get the API at the Account Settings, you need to be the Account Admin. I assume your team leader made you a project admin.

Okay, I’m submitting a get request with the API token I got from my team leader and getting an error for"error": “Wrong API_TOKEN name - token name JIRA_CLOUD is specific for its purpose and cannot be use as a general token”

What does it mean exactly?

You need to create a separate token to work with the API. The one for JIRA should be used for JIRA only.
