Improve the pagination and name convention so it can be more consistent across all API endpoints

    • Our product teams collect and evaluate feedback from a number of different sources. To learn more about how we use customer feedback in the planning process, check out our new feature policy.

      At this moment, the parameters and data returned when using the endpoints available in the Organizations REST API don't provide a consistent experience. 

      A few examples: 

      1. Pagination:

      The value stored in the "next" attribute doesn't return a link to the next page when using the endpoint Search for users within an organization. It provides a cursor to the next page, which still works if there is a logic implemented on the code to extract it to be used in the next HTTP request.

          "links": {
              "next": "NTU3MDU4OmE4ZGVkMDljLTVlZmMtNDFmYy04M2RmLTY4OTE5OWQ1OWRiMA=="
          }

      However, the endpoint Get managed accounts in an organization provided the complete link in the "next" attribute. 

          "links": {
              "self": "https://api.atlassian.com/admin/v1/orgs/<ORG_ID>/users"
          }
       

      2. Attribute name convention

      Some attributes have different names depending on the endpoint being used. For example, "Account ID" and "Account Status":

      Endpoint cursor-pagination Account ID Account Status Naming convention
      Get managed accounts in an organization URL account_id account_status snake_case
      Search for users within an organization token accountId accountStatus camelCase
