How to upload a file and create a new commit using the API?

[Enrique Fernández-Polo Puertas]

Hello!!

I am getting a 500 reponse every time I try to use the example in de documentation.

The curl is always returning 500.

curl https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/username/slug/src \
  -F /repo/path/to/image.png=@image.png

{"type":"error","error":{"message":"Something went wrong","id":"0488898c2387461f9ed4a29591a38cf2"}}

I have tried absolutes paths, parameters... How can I debug this error??

Hi @Enrique Fernández-Polo Puertas

Thank you for flagging that.
The example in that document page is incomplete. You should use something like:

curl -u <USER>:<APP_PASSWORD> \
     -X POST https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/<USER>/<SLUG>/src \
     -F <REPO_FILE_NAME>=@"<LOCAL_PATH_TO_FILE>/<FILE_NAME>"

e.g.

curl -u admin:123456 \
     -X POST https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/admin/repo/src \
     -F avatar.png=@"~/my folder/image.png"

I've raised an internal ticket to flag that we need to fix that page.
Please let me know if you are able to upload the file as you wish.
