Bitbucket API
The Bitbucket API is a RESTful web service interface provided by Atlassian for programmatically interacting with Bitbucket, a Git-based source code repository hosting service. It allows developers to automate tasks, integrate Bitbucket with other tools, and manage repositories, pull requests, issues, and user accounts through HTTP requests. The API supports both Cloud and Server versions of Bitbucket, enabling extensive customization and workflow automation.
Developers should learn the Bitbucket API when they need to automate repository management, integrate Bitbucket into CI/CD pipelines, or build custom tools for team collaboration. It is particularly useful for automating repetitive tasks like creating branches, merging pull requests, or syncing issues across projects, making it essential for DevOps engineers and teams using Bitbucket in their development workflows.
