@jaygami,

Can you explain how you are authenticating to that REST API?

You shouldn’t be using curl for this endpoint:

> [@Get workflow transition rule configurations](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/get-workflow-transition-rule-configurations/81006/5):

> Using Forge, it would be something like this: import api, { route } from "@forge/api"; const response = await api.asApp().requestJira(route`/rest/api/3/workflow/rule/config?types= postfunction`, { headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json' } }); console.log(`Response: ${response.status} ${response.statusText}`); console.log(await response.json()); Note that the URL you posted is missing types, so it’d be https://jay.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/workflow/rule/config?types=postfunction, but y…

@jaygami,

To elaborate @AaronCollier, not all endpoints provide all forms of auth. In this case, auth is only provided through [Forge](https://go.atlassian.com/forge) and [Connect](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/understanding-jwt-for-connect-apps/). API tokens and basic auth won’t work; hence, no curl.
