How to automate the delivery of app-links using APIs

[admin admin]

So the below site describes how to remove app-links using an API, but I need to create one, likewise the link it provides is to use the web-gui to create app-links.

I want to know how to do this, and if anyone here has done this, or has an idea of how it could be done please let me know, as I need to create app links from the OS layer, with no foreknowledge of remote server configuration.

Currently there are no REST API methods that can create applicaiton links directly.  There is a request for this in https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-61753

There are JAVA APIs for using the application link packages which are documented over in https://developer.atlassian.com/server/framework/atlassian-sdk/application-links/  Perhaps you could create a Java application or plugin that could automate this process in some way.  However it seems like this might be difficult to automate.  By design the creation of application links is prompting the end user to accept the token by redirecting to the other application with a corresponding admin account.  Perhaps you could customize this code in some manner to achieve this.
