== Summary ==
Bugzilla 5.0 has a native REST API, an HTTP version of its XMLRPC and JSONRPC APIs. It is [http://bugzillabmo.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api/index.html documented] along with the other WebServices and Bugzilla's internal interfaces. '''This is the preferred way to interface with Bugzilla from external apps''', web or otherwise.
This native REST API has been backported to [[BMO]] and is available for use there. On BMO, the previous REST API, [[Bugzilla:BzAPI|BzAPI]], is considered '''DEPRECATED'''. There exists a [[Bugzilla:BzAPI:CompatLayer|compatibility layer]] to help transition away from the BzAPI server.
== Documentation ==
The REST API is [http://bugzillabmo.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api/ documented] along with the other WebServices and Bugzilla's internal interfaces. '''[Note that the API documentation was completely rewritten in late 2014 to be much more readable]'''
