How do I get the API tokens?

The link provided in the response to the git command describes the UI which is not reflected in the page displaying my workspace and list of repositories.

How can I get the token which required to use after 09/30/2025.

Hi @ecamnet 

To add to Aron's response above.

To start using API tokens with Bitbucket Cloud - you'll need to create the API token and specify the scope - this is mentioned in our deprecation documentation:

1. Click the gear cog icon, select Atlassian Account settings > Security tab > Create and manage API Tokens

2. Click Create API token with scopes and select Bitbucket Cloud

3. If you want to be able to clone/push/pull to the repository - you'll need to tick both read:repository:bitbucket and write:repository:bitbucket - clone only would just be read:repository:bitbucket. More information on scopes can be found in our API scopes documentation.

4. Perform the clone using the API token by executing either of the commands below (if using the first command - you can find your username by clicking the gear cog icon and selecting Personal Bitbucket Settings - it's visible under the Bitbucket Profile Settings heading):

   git clone https://username:APIToken@bitbucket.org/workspaceID/reposlug.git

git clone https://x-bitbucket-api-token-auth:APIToken@bitbucket.org/workspaceID/reposlug.git

Please perform the above and let me know how this goes. If you are still encountering issues, I will assist you further.

Cheers!

@ecamnet If you are looking for the standard Atlassian managed API token (I guess you are), then open this link:

API tokens are part of your Atlassian account, and it may not be intuitive to navigate to your Atlassian account details from the Bitbucket screens.
