What is Bitbucket?
Bitbucket-Webhooks is the official automated agent operated by Atlassian to facilitate communication between Bitbucket Cloud repositories and external web services. It functions by sending HTTP POST requests containing JSON payloads whenever specific repository events occur, such as code pushes, pull request creations, or issue updates. This mechanism is fundamental to modern DevOps, allowing developers to automate deployment pipelines, synchronize project management tools, and trigger custom server-side logic based on version control activity.

What we read
Why it crawls your site
This agent does not crawl the web in the traditional sense; rather, it performs targeted outbound requests to specific URLs configured by repository administrators. It acts as a bridge to notify external systems of changes within a Bitbucket environment, ensuring that integrated tools remain synchronized with the latest repository state. Administrators can verify the authenticity of these requests by checking the source IP addresses against Atlassian's published IP ranges or by validating the webhook signatures provided in the request headers.
