I currently try to automate the process of creating a new Bamboo linked repository and start the scan. I've already looked over the documentation of the REST API, tried to generate a new plan and enabling a scan, but that didn't work.
I also tried the Java Maven Package from Atlassian, but that needs user credentials as an authentication method, whilst I need to authenticate via a Security token. There is a link to an API in that Maven Package, which I tried to send a request to with the yaml code, but it always responds with the status code 500 and a Java Stacktrace. It's probably due to a wrong request body, but I can't figure out, how to include the yaml content the same way, as the maven package.
Is there a way to create a linked repository via the REST API?
Thanks in advance!

No and there won't ever be one because they're deprecating the Bamboo server in favour of their cloud-based alternative (which is based on a totally different API). See https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-18453
Java Maven Package from Atlassian
What package is that? Based on what I said earlier the only way for you to programmatically create a linked repo is to mimic the browser POST request to updateLinkedRepository.action. That means that you'll need to login first to get a JSESSIONID cookie (xsrf token can be disabled, see https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamkb/rest-api-calls-fail-due-to-missing-xsrf-token-899447048.html#RESTAPIcallsfailduetoMissingXSRFToken-Workaround). Ping me if you need help, I still have ansible code for the login part.
