How to commit multiple files from memory using bitbucket API?

[Kurt Rhee]

Hello I have been able to upload files to bitbucket cloud by saving them first to my disk and then commiting them one by one to my repository via the API, but I haven't been able to send files that are in memory and I haven't been able to send multiple files which should get committed to different folders at the same time.

Does anybody know how to do this?

I am writing my api functions in python using the requests library.

Hi @Kurt Rhee 

Welcome to the community!

If I got this right you wish to use the API to create commit on multiple files from memory? If yes, I believe the following curl API endpoint can be used with the content type of multipart/form-data to commit multiple files:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/<WorkspaceID>/<RepoSlug>/src \
  --header 'Authorization: Basic cm9.....==' \
  --header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
  --form 'message=my commit message' \
  --form branch=<branch name> \
  --form file1=@<My First File Path>\
  --form directory/file2=@<My Second File Path>

As for using python, I am not an expert on this, but from my research on how to POST a file with Python and I found the following example:

import requests
from requests_toolbelt.multipart.encoder import MultipartEncoder

m = MultipartEncoder(
    fields={
            'branch': 'dev', 
            'message': '<Your MESSAGE>',
            '/path/file1': ('filename', open('file1.py', 'rb'), 'text/plain'),
            '/path/file2': ('filename', open('file2.py', 'rb'), 'text/plain'),}
    )
....
....
r = requests.post(url, data=m, headers)

I hope this helps!

Cheers,
