- Content-Type - application/json
- Accept - application/json

To retrieve your project id from Jira, log into Jira and run the following API in the browser bar -
<JIRA_BASE_URL>/rest/api/latest/project/<project_key>
If you do not provide the project_key, it will return all projects. It can be helpful to paste the JSON output into a JSON beautifier to improve readability. Learn more
