API doesn't work for me

[Vasile Purdila]

Hi,

I've created an API token with the following scopes:

Read

read:account

read:me

read:repository:bitbucket

read:pullrequest:bitbucket

read:project:bitbucket

read:pipeline:bitbucket

read:permission:bitbucket

read:package:bitbucket

read:issue:bitbucket

read:gpg-key:bitbucket

And trying to access this endpoint:

curl --request GET \
--url 'https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/mycompany/myrepo/pullrequests/742/diff' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer XXX'

I'm getting this error:

{"type": "error", "error": {"message": "Token is invalid, expired, or not supported for this endpoint."}}

Any idea what might be wrong?

Thanks.

Hi Vaslie?

I'm assuming you are not using the OAuth2 flow here?

On Using API tokens | Bitbucket Cloud | Atlassian Support you can find an example on how to authenticate for API calls using a token.

You should use the combination of username and token instead of using a token only.

1. Encode <email>:<token> combination as base64
2. Use this header:
   "Authorization: Basic <base64 string>"
