description: 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.

- name: HipChat REST API v2
  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.

- name: HipChat Webhooks API
  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.
