activationID in JIRA Asset Management API

I'm working with Jira Asset Management API have the following code to fetch an object.

import requests
import json

id = "<validobjectid>"

url = "https://api.atlassian.com/jsm/assets/workspace/{workspaceId}/v1/object/{id}"

headers = {
    "Accept": "application/json",
    "Authorization": f"Basic {encoded_credentials}",
}

response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers)

print(
    json.dumps(
        json.loads(response.text), sort_keys=True, indent=4, separators=(",", ": ")
    )
)

However I'm receiving a 400 error . I'm using the API token I generated under the security section in this method .

I'm not sure what is this activationID . Any help will be helpful

{ "code": 400, "message": "activationId is not provided" }

Solution

According to the official documentation:

Assets REST API Guide

The Standard Assets REST API Guide will walk you through a workflow that is designed for users that want to use the REST API to complete tasks other than importing data or data structures into Assets. It follows the normal procedure of making REST API calls using basic auth.

This workflow includes the following steps:

Use basic auth to authenticate.

Use the workspace call to discover your workspaceID

Use the REST API with your workspaceID to make your REST API calls.

There are a couple of issues in your code

The workspaceId variable is not defined, you can discover it by following the official docs
The way you have written the url, suggests that you have forgotten the f for an f-string before the quotes "

A corrected and tested version of your code would be

import requests
import json

workspaceId = "<your_workspace_id>"

id = "<validobjectid>"


url = f"https://api.atlassian.com/jsm/assets/workspace/{workspaceId}/v1/object/{id}"

headers = {
    "Accept": "application/json",
    "Authorization": f"Basic {encoded_credentials}",
}

response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers)

print(
    json.dumps(
        json.loads(response.text), sort_keys=True, indent=4, separators=(",", ": ")
    )
)
