Find users in bitbucket based on nickname

Question

Hi All

I have a custom add-on that allows administrators to configure default reviewers for specific branches. The add-on then periodically synchronizes the development branch with these branches and adds the configured list of reviewers for each branch as a reviewer for the pull request

Now, according to the new privacy changes where the api's will no longer accept the username to be used when creating the pull requests and either the uuid or accountId should be passed. So I am making changes to get the accountid based on the username (which is mapped to nickname). However I am not able to find an api endpoint under /2.0/users which would allow me to search for a user based on the nickname.

Are there any other ways to do this?

Regards

Tejas

Good morning,

Have you tried using the following endpoint to search for the user in your workspace?

https://api.bitbucket.org/workspaces/{{YOUR_WORKSPACE}}/members?q=user.nickname="{{nickname}}"

Is this the information you are looking for?

Kind regards,

R.

I have the same problem as Tejas_shah, who unfortunately did not receive an answer. The documentation suggests that is possible to query for the uuid of a user by entering a nickname as paramater. Yet how is this to be accomplished?
