Python-Jenkins API Connection Error

I'm trying to use python-jenkins to connect to a jenkins instance. My code snippet is as follows: import jenkins JENKINS_URL = 'xxxx' JENKINS_USER = 'yyyy' JENKINS_PASSWORD = 'zzz

Solution 1:

The problem here was that I was using the password for the account, whereas actually you need to use the API token.

The documentation (and variable names) in jenkinsapi don't make this clear at all!
