Bitbucket REST Limits not returning correct results?

[Stephen Garber]

Limits in the Bitbucket API doesn't appear to working properly, for example:

https://URL/stash/rest/api/1.0/users?permission=LICENSED_USER&limit=500

Returns 500 results (good so far)

https://URL/stash/rest/api/1.0/users?permission=LICENSED_USER&limit=750

Returns 605 results

https://URL/stash/rest/api/1.0/users?permission=LICENSED_USER&limit=1000

Returns 512 results

https://URL/stash/rest/api/1.0/users?permission=LICENSED_USER&limit=1500

Returns 476 results

Strangely these are consistent in their incorrectness...

What could be causing this?

Hi @Stephen Garber,

I would like to collect more details on this:

- Bitbucket Server version 

- size, limit, start, filter and nextPageStart values from the output for each example

If you can also share what is the end goal of using this REST API endpoint, there may be a better option to use.

We are using bitbucket 5.8.3

No filters on these calls

Limit 500
size":500,"limit":500,"isLastPage":false
Limit 750
size":611,"limit":750,"isLastPage":true
Limit 1000
size":520,"limit":1000,"isLastPage":true
Limit 1500
size":479,"limit":1500,"isLastPage":true

We are using this to determine the number of active licensed users, but will be switching to https://URL/stash/rest/api/1.0/admin/license.

Hi @Stephen Garber,

Sure, the rest/api/1.0/admin/license is a valid option to determine the number of active users.

If you are also looking for the usernames, you can follow the steps on this article:

- How do I find which users count against my Bitbucket Server license?

I just tried to reproduce the issue with the filter, but I've not been able to and we may need to dig deeper in the data to understand what's happening. Let me know if you would like to continue investigating.

No need to continue investigating, I'll just count that as an anomaly with our bitbucket instance.

Thanks for the Help Caterina.
