Atlassian Updates - Jira REST API, Bitbucket App Password, Jira Align Roadmap, State of Product

Let us go through some of the recent updates from the @atlassian ecosystem #JiraRESTAPIChanges #BitbucketAppPassword #JiraAlignRoadmap #StateofProduct2026

Jira Data Center - Upcoming Jira REST API changes

Atlassian has introduced new Jira search API endpoints, and the existing Jira Search REST APIs will be deprecated in 2027. If your integrations rely on the old APIs, you’ll need to update them to remain compatible.

Bitbucket Cloud enters phase 2 of app password deprecation

Bitbucket Cloud has officially entered Phase 2 of our app password deprecation journey. In this phase existing app passwords will remain valid but new integrations would require API token and users will be routed to create an API token.

Phase 3: On June 9, 2026, when Phase 3 will take effect. At that point, all app passwords will be permanently disabled, and API tokens will be the only way to authenticate with Bitbucket Cloud
