A Python library wrapping the official REST APIs of Atlassian products such as Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Bamboo, Crowd, and Service Desk. It supports Server, Data Center, and Cloud instances with multiple authentication methods including PAT, API tokens, and OAuth.
Use cases
- automate creating and updating Confluence pages from Python
- query and update Jira issues programmatically
- manage Bitbucket repositories and pull requests via script
- integrate Atlassian Service Desk with internal tooling
- bulk-administer Atlassian Cloud and Server instances
- interact with X-Ray and Insight apps through their REST APIs
When to choose
- you need Python access to Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, or other Atlassian products without hand-writing REST calls
- you want one library covering both Atlassian Server/Data Center and Cloud
- you need automation or integration scripts around Atlassian tooling
When to avoid
- you work with non-Atlassian issue trackers or wikis
- you need a CLI or GUI rather than a Python API
- you require async-first HTTP clients
