There is no public data for those fields on that bug, you will need to authenticate to get private data.

Comment 2 Brad Maxwell 2022-06-29 03:03:57 UTC 
Is the WebService using different authentication than the browser? I connected to jira and did not remember seeing a difference.

Then hitting [2] in the browser, it gives authentication required.

I was able to send the token and see them now, just seemed off that I could be logged into the browser and view these, but then there being a difference when hitting the REST in the browser, though I found a way to test in the browser by adding to the header and can see the fields now.
