Overview

Bitrise is a mobile-first CI/CD platform that automates building, testing, and deploying iOS and Android apps. Its REST API exposes every platform capability: triggering builds, retrieving build logs, managing apps and workflows, and downloading artifacts like IPAs or APKs. Teams use it to integrate Bitrise with Slack notifications, Jira tickets, or custom release dashboards.

Beginner Tip

Your Bitrise API token lives under Account Settings → Security. Add it as `Authorization: token YOUR_TOKEN` (not "Bearer") — this is a common mistake that causes immediate 401 errors.

Available Data

The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.

Bitrise data via REST API

Example Response

Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.

JSON Response · Illustrative
{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {
    "result": "Data from Bitrise",
    "description": "Build tool and processes integrations to create efficient development pipelines",
    "timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z"
  }
}

Field Reference

slug Unique identifier for the app — use this in all subsequent app-specific API calls.
title Display name of the app as configured in Bitrise.
repo_url Git repository URL connected to this Bitrise app.
is_public Whether the app's build status badge is publicly visible.
provider Git provider hosting the repository (e.g., "github", "gitlab", "bitbucket").

Implementation Example

Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.

Request
const url = "https://api.bitrise.io/v0.1/apps";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
  headers: {
  "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
  }
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

401 Unauthorized Using `Bearer` instead of `token` as the Authorization prefix, or a revoked token.
Set the header as `Authorization: token YOUR_BITRISE_TOKEN` exactly as shown in the Bitrise docs.
404 Not Found on app endpoints The app slug in the URL is wrong or the token does not have access to that app.
List your apps first with `GET /v0.1/apps` to get the correct slug, then use that slug in subsequent requests.
Build not triggered (400 Bad Request) Missing required fields in the trigger payload, such as `branch` or `workflow_id`.
Include at minimum `{"hook_info":{"type":"bitrise"},"build_params":{"branch":"main","workflow_id":"primary"}}` in your POST body.

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
