REST APIs

The Bamboo REST APIs are for developers who want to integrate their application with Bamboo and for administrators who want to script interactions with the Bamboo application server.

Bamboo REST APIs provide access to resources (data entities) via URI paths. To use a REST API, your application will make an HTTP request and parse the response. By default, the response format is XML. If you wish, you can request JSON instead of XML. See media types for details.

Getting Started

• Read our guide to using the REST APIs.
• Find the REST resources you need in our REST documentation.

Advanced Topics

Below are some links to in-depth information on development of REST APIs and plugins:

• Developing your own REST APIs for Bamboo: Bamboo uses the Atlassian REST plugin to implement the Bamboo APIs. The REST plugin is bundled with Bamboo. You can add your own REST APIs to Bamboo by creating a Bamboo plugin that includes the REST plugin module.
• Understanding the principles behind the Atlassian REST API design: You may be interested in the guidelines followed by the Atlassian developers who are designing REST APIs for Atlassian applications, including the Bamboo REST APIs.
