Hello Atlassian Community!
We're beyond excited to unveil two powerful additions to our Jira REST API suite: the Bulk Watch API and the Bulk Unwatch API. These new endpoints are designed to streamline your notification management, making it easier than ever to stay updated on the issues that matter most to you and your team.
Bulk Watch API
With the Bulk Watch API, you can now add multiple users as watchers to a set of work items in a single request. This means no more repetitive manual additions—just swift, efficient updates to keep everyone in the loop.
Bulk Unwatch API
Conversely, the Bulk Unwatch API allows you to simultaneously remove several users from the watcher list of selected work items. This is perfect for decluttering notifications and ensuring that only the relevant team members receive updates.
These new APIs help you improve:
-
Efficiency: Manage watchers across numerous issues with a single API call, saving valuable time and reducing potential errors.
-
Scalability: Designed to handle large-scale operations, these APIs ensure smooth performance even as your project grows.
Getting Started:
To integrate these APIs into your workflows, check out the official documentation:
While these APIs are designed to handle large operations, it's essential to be mindful of Jira's rate-limiting policies to maintain optimal performance and avoid potential disruptions. For detailed information on rate limits and best practices, please refer to our Rate Limiting Guidelines.
We’re thrilled to see how you’ll use these new capabilities to supercharge your Jira experience! 🚀 Your feedback is invaluable, so let us know your thoughts and use cases. Let’s build the best Jira together!
Happy coding! 🚀
