  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.

    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.
