I tried as curl -u username:password -d '{"assignee":"assigneename"}' "https://company.com/changes/projectname~branchname~change-id/assignee"

I get the error "Authentication required"

It looks like you probably didn’t use the authenticated URL. See https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/rest-api.html#authentication

To set assignee you'll need to use POST.

Check if the account you are curl:ing with is allowed to see the change:
 curl  -XGET -u username:password "https://company.com/a/changes/projectname~branchname~change-id"

If you can see the change, make sure you are allowed to edit assignee for that change:

Strangely when I access  "https://company.com/a/changes/projectname~branchname~change-id" on a web browser ,it downloads the .json file
When I do a "curl  -XGET -u username:password "https://company.com/a/changes/projectname~branchname~change-id" I get an "Unauthorized" error

I logged with the same user on the web browser, confused as to what is wrong with the curl command?

You’ll want to double check that the username and password you’re using with cURL matches Gerrit’s settings. That info will be in your settings (url might be different depending on your Gerrit version): https://company.com/settings/#HTTPCredentials

What Gerrit is saying is that it can't find any user by the name of "assignee".
Which suggests that something is not right with your request.

I am trying send a python put as below using https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/rest-api-changes.html#set-assignee ,any guidance on why am getting "assignee does not identify a registered user" ?

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

mydata = {"assignee": "assigneename"}
            data=mydata,                         
            auth=('username', 'password'),
            headers={'Content-type':'application/json'},
             )
print (response.text)

Did you try it with the email address ( that is what most other user-setting api endpoints use)? If that works, it would be a documentation error.

Surely this isn't an exact copy of your code.
The error message suggests that "mydata" looks like {"assignee":"assignee"}, I'd check what mydata contains before request.put is called.

Seems like a doc and/or impl. problem.

I can reproduce the error. If I set data to just:
  
    data = 'assigneename'


then the call succeeds. So it seems the endpoint does not expect an array, but just a plain string....

It's been a while since I worked with requests but I believe you should pass a json-string as data so it should be:

import json
...

            data=json.dumps(mydata),                         
            auth=('username', 'password'),
            headers={'Content-type':'application/json'},

or:
requests.put ( url, json=mydata, auth =....)
