What is HAPI?
HAPI is a simpler alternative to Jira and Confluence API. Using plain Groovy, it significantly simplifies the way you write scripts in ScriptRunner, whether you’re searching, managing issues, or updating fields.
With HAPI you can create automations faster and easier than ever before, whether you’re an expert or a beginner.

Fly through your automations and customisations faster than ever. Accelerate your transformation and automation using less time, effort, and brainpower.
Create without context switching
There’s no need to keep multiple tabs open for reference anymore, just focus on your goal and let us do the heavy lifting.
Recreate your business processes quickly
Create conditional or complex automations and customisations using human, intuitive approaches, even if you’re not an expert in Groovy or Atlassian APIs.
Upskill easily on automation and customisation
No need to learn or recall programming languages or API syntax: all you need is an idea of what you want to achieve.
