Documentation for Bamboo 4.0.x. Documentation for earlier versions of Bamboo is available too.

You can access Bamboo's data from an external program by using Bamboo's REST-style remote API.The remote API is disabled by default. Bamboo will return an error if people try to use the remote API when it is disabled.

Please note, the Bamboo remote API described in Bamboo Remote API - Deprecated has been deprecated in favour of the new Bamboo REST API. You only need to enable the Accept remote API calls? option (as described below), if you want to allow access to the deprecated remote API. Access to the new REST API is enabled by default.

To enable the remote API:

  1. Click Administration in the top menu bar.
  2. Click General Configuration (under 'System') in the left navigation panel.
  3. Select Accept remote API calls?.
  4. Click Save. Bamboo will now accept remote calls. You do not have to restart the Bamboo server.
