How to store company context in external storage

@fixianovic welcome to the Atlassian developer community.

Given my response here:

How to get domain adress for REST API request

@fixianovic, If you are using API tokens, there is no meaningful sense of “installed”. Your client will need to know the site name (the part you are calling “your-domain”) a priori. However, if you are using OAuth 2.0, then your original post makes an incorrect assumption (a common misunderstanding). Request URLs for OAuth 2.0 look like: https://api.atlassian.com/ex/jira/{cloudid}/{api} Your client obtains that cloudid by using the access token with this endpoint: https://api.atlassian.com/…

I recommend using OAuth 2.0 and cloudid as your “identifier of the specific jira cloud instance”. To be clear, site is not always 1:1 with company. For example, Atlassian has a handful of Jira sites in production use (and maybe 1000s in use by people and teams). As explained in that post, your client obtains that cloudid by using the OAuth access token with this endpoint:
