Bitbucket Webhooks API
Webhooks provide a way to configure Bitbucket Cloud to make requests toyour server (or another external service) whenever certain events occur inBitbucket Cloud.A webhook consists of:* A subject -- The resource that generates the events. Currently, this resourceis the repository, user account, or team where you create the webhook.* One or more event -- The default event is a repository push, but you canselect multiple events that can trigger the webhook.* A URL -- The endpoint where you want Bitbucket to send the event payloadswhen a matching event happens.There are two parts to getting a webhook to work: creating the webhook andtriggering the webhook. After you create a webhook for an event, every timethat event occurs, Bitbucket sends a payload request that describes the eventto the specified URL. Thus, you can think of webhooks as a kind ofnotification system.Use webhooks to integrate applications with Bitbucket Cloud. The followinguse cases provides examples of when you would want to use webhooks:* Every time a user pushes commits in a repository, you may want to notifyyour CI server to start a build.* Every time a user pushes commits or creates a pull request, you may want todisplay a notification in your application.
