  title: SonarQube Web System API
  description: The SonarQube Web API provides HTTP endpoints for programmatic interaction with SonarQube Server. It enables management of projects, quality gates, issues, rules, users, groups, permissions, and CI/CD integrations. The API uses token-based authentication and follows REST conventions. It powers the SonarQube web UI and is used for CI/CD integration, custom tooling, and third-party plugin development.
