How to make cloud REST API call in Jira atlas connect app

Question

I'm new to jira development. I created an app in atlas connect cloud app. I want to use REST api calls in this app to access jira core features.

When user installed my app I want to get his projects and other details using rest calls.

How can I authenticate user and use rest api calls.

Thx.

Depending on the setup of your JIRA instance, you can use the following ways to authenticate users:

• OAuth
• Basic authentication
• Cookie-based authentication

For getting a list of projects and other details, you can use this resource to find out what is possible.

An introduction to the JIRA API can be found here.
