Fetch API

The Forge Fetch API is a partial implementation of node-fetch, which fetches data from an HTTP server. In the most basic use, fetch is a simple HTTP client. See Basic fetch client for more information.

However, fetch also supports multiple options for managed authentication to remote APIs:

Product authentication

The product fetch API also enables you to make requests to Atlassian product APIs through the following endpoints:

• requestBitbucket
• requestConfluence
• requestJira
• requestGraph (for Compass and other APIs exposed through the Atlassian GraphQL Gateway)

External authentication

The withProvider method enables your Forge app to communicate with an API that requires OAuth 2.0 tokens. Access is via the asUser method, in the @forge/api package. See External authentication for more information.
