api call using tokens after app passwords are deprecated

[Maneesh M]

Hi

as per the link https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/using-access-tokens/ we need to use bearer token for calling api. Is there any username password format available as well? Context is we have tools which used username and password type authentication and now it breaks due to the format change in rest api call.

No, a username and password option is not available, but you can use API tokens. Your authentication would then be your email address and the API token, have a look at https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/bitbucket/rest/intro/#api-tokens for more information.
