Automation API paths

The Automation REST API can be invoked from two base paths:

  1. https://api.atlassian.com/automation/public/{product}/{cloudid}
  2. https://{sitename}/gateway/api/automation/public/{product}/{cloudid}

Where:

  • {product} is the name of the product the API is being invoked on e.g. jira, confluence
  • {cloudid} is the cloud ID of the site the API is being invoked on
  • {sitename} is the site domain the API is being invoked on e.g. mysite.atlassian.net

The main difference between the two base paths is that api.atlassian.com will only accept API tokens, while the {sitename}/gateway/api variant can also be invoked from a browser using session cookie authentication.

If you don't know the cloudid for your site you can find it via https://{sitename}/_edge/tenant_info
