Checking for Application Link Status via REST

[Justin Alex Paramanandan]

Heya everyone,

We are writing test cases using Postman and would like one for verifying the status of an application link. Judging from this post, it seems there is one that has a tag (appLinkState) for the status of an applink. However, that endpoint does not seem to have that tag any longer. Below is for Confluence DC 7.4.4:

/rest/applinks/latest/listApplicationlinks

<list>
    <list
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="linkAndAuthProviderEntity">
        <application>
            <link href="https://confluence.sandbox-2/rest/applinks/latest/applicationlink/48a4d1d9-a2f5-3a4c-a51e-c44dc0d3dd65" rel="self"/>
            <id>48a4d1d9-a2f5-3a4c-a51e-c44dc0d3dd65</id>
            <typeId>jira</typeId>

            <rpcUrl>https://jira.sandbox-2</rpcUrl>
            <isPrimary>true</isPrimary>
            <isSystem>false</isSystem>
        </application>
        <configuredOutboundAuthenticators>com.atlassian.applinks.api.auth.types.OAuthAuthenticationProvider</configuredOutboundAuthenticators>
        <configuredOutboundAuthenticators>com.atlassian.applinks.api.auth.types.TwoLeggedOAuthAuthenticationProvider</configuredOutboundAuthenticators>

        <hasIncomingAuthenticationProviders>true</hasIncomingAuthenticationProviders>
        <hasOutgoingAuthenticationProviders>true</hasOutgoingAuthenticationProviders>
        <isSystem>false</isSystem>
        <entityTypeIdStrings>jira.project</entityTypeIdStrings>
    </list>
</list>

This is also the same for Jira DC 8.13.5 as well as Bitbucket DC 7.12.1.

Using the Healthcheck URL works for some applications (not Bitbucket) but with varying results:

/rest/troubleshooting/1.0/check/

• Jira: there's an applinksStatusHealthCheck but no indicators on which applink is failing (should they be one)
• Confluence: no such thing as applinksStatusHealthCheck - or any applink health check at all.
• Bitbucket: no healthcheck status check

Any ideas? Or maybe you have an idea for a test case for application links?

TIA!

Hi @Justin Alex Paramanandan

I'm interested on this one. Have you been able to figure this one out?
