Can I clone a repo by a unique identification number?

[taspen]

We are using Conan for dependency management and have concerns about changing repository URLs.

Is it possible to use the repository identification number (ID) as part of the URL?

Thanks in advance

Yes, from the API docs:

UUID's work with both the 1.0 and 2.0 APIs for the user, team, and repository objects.

This helps you resolve repositories no matter if the username or team name changes.

You can replace the URL parts in your clone command with the UUIDs and it will resolve as expected.

Hi again,

When running requests to the api I only receive an "id" not a "UUID"

I am running Bitbucket on a server.
