Explore the documentation
The Atlassian developer documentation is here to help you build apps with our products. This page shows you where to find information on our product APIs, development frameworks, UI modules, and other resources.
Navigating the documentation
Select a product from the Documentation dropdown at the top of the screen to learn more about developing with that product and deployment option.
When selecting a product, make sure you choose the right deployment option, either cloud or server (Data Center). To double-check that you are looking at the right docs, check for Cloud or Server in the product name or page URL.
After selecting a product, use the buttons at the top of the page to switch between the different sections of documentation: guides, API references, or other resources.
- Guides describe basic concepts with tutorials to help you start building apps.
