Get particular repository for a user using API

[Sakshi Barnwal]

Hi Team,

We have a requirement to get repo code using the Bitbucket API. 

I am able to list all the api for a user, using basic auth, but while using the

"https://developer.atlassian.com/bitbucket/api/2/reference/resource/repositories/%7Busername%7D/%7Brepo_slug%7D"

, it gives a 404 error where I am passing the uuid of repo as the repo slug.

Thanks,

Sakshi

Tyler,

I have tried with the curl braces, but it gave a 404 exception. The repository is a private repository for which I have member access.

For getting the list of repositories, I have used

curl -X GET  --user <username>:<password>https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories?role=member

and using the uuid for a repo,

curl -X GET  --user <username>:<password> https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/<username>/{<uuid_repo>}.

Do, let me know if I am missing a step.

Thanks,

Sakshi

Do you have 2-factor-auth / 2-step-verification disabled? If you use 2fa, you should authenticate using OAuth2 instead of basic auth.

We are using basic authentication for bitbucket in the org, hence that shouldn't be the cause for 404 error.

Also, I am able to get the repo list using 

```curl -X GET  --user <username>:<password>https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories?role=member ```.

Not sure how to proceed further for this.

What is the error response in the 404? It should have a JSON payload with more information about the issue.

[Sakshi Barnwal]

{
"type": "error",
"error": {
"message": "Repository <username>/{repo slug} not found"
}
}

Please note that I am a member of this repo , not owner.

My repo slug you mean repo UUID right? Or does the API call not work for <username>/<slug> either? That response usually means something about the owner name or slug was typed incorrectly, thus it cannot be found. If it was an authentication issue the response code would likely be a 403.

[Tyler T]

From the API docs:

This can either be the repository slug or the UUID of the repository, surrounded by curly-braces, for example: {repository UUID}.

Are you using the curly-braces around the UUID?

Here's an example with a public repository:

https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/mirror/%7Be14d6747-e69d-4ee3-a64a-a2ec8d3d5034%7D

Hi Gonchik,

I am able to get all the repository after passing the parameter of role and that's how I have received the uuid corresponding to a repository.

Although, when I am passing the same in the api as mentioned above, it is giving a 404 error.

Thanks,
