HipChat

HipChat was Atlassian's team chat platform, providing persistent group chat, video, file sharing, and an extensive integration ecosystem. Atlassian discontinued HipChat Cloud, Stride, HipChat Server, and HipChat Data Center on February 15, 2019 after selling the IP to Slack in July 2018 and committing to a joint migration path for customers. This profile preserves the historical API surface (REST API v2, Webhooks, Connect add-on framework) for archival and migration-pattern research; no live endpoints remain.

HipChat publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: REST API v2 and Webhooks API. Tagged areas include Chat, Messaging, Collaboration, Team Communication, and Sunset.

The HipChat catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification, 1 JSON-LD context, and 3 Spectral governance rulesets.

HipChat’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, pricing, and 8 more developer resources.

  description: The HipChat REST API v2 was the primary developer surface for the team chat platform, exposing rooms, users,
    messages, notifications, emoticons, OAuth sessions, add-on capabilities, and webhook management. Authentication supported
    four token types (add-on tokens, user tokens, personal access tokens, and room notification tokens) passed as either an
    auth_token query parameter or an Authorization Bearer header. The API was retired on February 15, 2019 alongside the rest
    of the HipChat product line.

  description: Event-driven webhook delivery from HipChat rooms. Webhooks could be registered via the REST API or declared
    in an add-on descriptor. Each delivery included a JWT-signed signed_request query parameter that the receiving service
    was expected to verify. The room_message event was the primary integration pattern, with additional events covering room
    enter, exit, topic change, archive, notification, and file upload. The webhook surface was retired with the rest of HipChat
    on February 15, 2019.
