Jira token_auth not working

[MateusZ36]

Bug summary

I tried doing something like this:

jira_instance = JIRA(
    server='https://XXX.atlassian.net/',
    token_auth=access_token,
)

I'm getting the folowing error:

raise JIRAError(
jira.exceptions.JIRAError: JiraError HTTP 401 url: https://XXX.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/serverInfo
    text: Client must be authenticated to access this resource.

the access token is valid, normal requests to te API works.

Expected behaviour

It should authenticate and let me use the instance.

Additional Context

Can you please try:

jira_instance = JIRA(
    server='https://XXX.atlassian.net/',
    basic_auth=(<username/email here>, <token here>),
)

and see if that works?

[MateusZ36]

This way it doesn't give any error when instancing but later when trying to, for example: jira_instance.myself() or jira_instance.issue() it does

I'm getting the token trough OAuth 2.0 (3LO) apps, idk if this helps

[MateusZ36]

Update: I was able to create an instance using this:

JIRA(
    server=f"https://api.atlassian.com/ex/jira/{cloud_id}",
    token_auth=access_token,
    validate=False
)

there are a few enpoints, like myself() that doesnt work because of the base URL but I can manage that
