Check version of JIRA REST API?

Question

How to check that rest api is included in JIRA and has the corresponding version?

I know that you can request "api / latest", but if the latest installed version is not compatible with the methods that I call?

Answer 1

To make sure it is on (and disable it if you want), you will need to go to the admin panel of your instance and enable / disable it there. In particular, you need to go to:

Administration> General Configuration> Install Accept Remote API Calls to Enable / Disable

To check if the REST api is enabled, just go (change the url to yours).

https://jira.atlassian.com/rest/api/2/user 

and see if the page is loaded.

I do not think there is an API to get the version of the API, but you can make API calls and return in case of an error. Coding depends on what you are trying to achieve.
