Can I use Application Links via REST API to connect applications?

[ChetanNadgonde]

I would like to automate linking Atlassian products. Can I use REST API to use Application Links feature to connect applications (like JIRa with Confluence or JIRA with BitBucket)

Hello Chetan and welcome to the Community!

Setting up automatic application links can be a great way to quickly add new Atlassian products as links or additional applications as well. The application links themselves are designed to function with the Java API instead of the REST API. There are no REST API endpoints that have access to generate or manage an application link. What would need to be done is to use the Atlassian SDK to gain access to application links. Further information about this may be found at the following: Atlassian SDK Developer | Application links. More on this may also be found with the Java API Applinks API 3.2 API.

I hope these are good references to help you get started with the automation of your application links.

Hello @ChetanNadgonde ,

After review of this question with a fellow Atlassian, @Dario B discovered that this is in fact possible. Please review the post where this is addressed at Jira cloud addon: use API to create oauth1 application link.
