Is there an API for the release tool available?

View release information for an issue

If your administrator has connected Jira Software to a compatible release tool, a releases panel will be displayed on the View Issue screen.

 

Rather working with a release tool. Is there also an API available that provides similar information?
Or could we develop our own compatible release tool?

Hi @mat jung welcome to the Atlassian Community. Lo and behold, we had a similar question asked on the Developer Community forums:

https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/showing-repositories-from-3rd-party-tool-inside-jiras-development-panel/33083/1

(the answer on the thread above even includes a YouTube link to a talk given by one of our senior Jira architects at Atlas Camp in fall 2019)

Upshot: Yes, there is a Deployments API resource as part of the Jira Software Cloud API:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/software/rest/api-group-deployments/#api-group-deployments

So, these methods are only accessible to Connect apps that include the Deployment module.

If you're not familiar with Connect, it is our app framework for building cloud apps on top of our products.. and you can see our getting started guide here.
