REST APIs

Atlassian products have a rich set of REST APIs for you to use. These APIs are the way that you interact with the Atlassian application's features and data.

API Structure

Atlassian's REST APIs follow an established structure. Note that the context-path element is not always used.

Product APIs

Check out the REST API documentation available for JIRA and Confluence for the full range of available REST API calls you can make. Also be sure to compare this with the Product API Scopes to see what scopes your add-on requires for a particular REST API call.

Atlassian Connect provides a set of REST APIs specifically designed for use by add-ons. The api-name used is atlassian-connect.
