First of all, if someone has come here trying to find out how to generate JWT for zephyr api in python, there’s already code for this (though I think it might not be as complete as the Atlassian-jwt code above)

If you’re trying to get the code here How do I sign my JWT requests for the REST interface? - #6 by jhazelwood to work(you probably don’t need to, because of the above link, but anyway).

access_key = <redacted>

secret_key = <redacted>

account_id = <redacted>

# note where base url ends and resource uri begins
base_url = 'https://prod-api.zephyr4jiracloud.com/connect/'

resource_uri = 'public/rest/api/1.0/cycles/search'

# note you will have to get your own versionId and projectId, 
# if you are using the web go to an extant test cycle and examine the urls
query_string = 'expand=executionSummaries&projectId=10026&versionId=10035'

request_url = resource_uri + '?' + query_string

canonical_method = 'GET'

my_url = base_url + request_url

# note this is not included in the above example but things didn't work if I removed it
headers = {'Content-type': 'text/plain',
           'Zapiaccesskey': access_key}

resp = requests.get(my_url, headers=headers, auth=outgoing_authenticator(base_url, secret_key, access_key))
print(resp.text)
