How to create private repository via API 2.0?

alex_nikl2q

Trying to create private repo using `curl`:

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $TEST_TOKEN" https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/nosuchip/__abcde -d '{"scm": "git", "is_private": "true", "private": "true, "public": "false", "is_public": "false" }'

As you see I tried a lot of different keys that COULD specify that repo should be private (Bitbucket API documentation is very confusing and misleading). It doesn't works.

I tried also specify these params one by one. Also I rplaced stringified versions `true` and `false` with boolean - nothing works.

Also I tried to create repo and then call PUT request to make it private  - PUT constantly returns "you already have such repository for this owner". Documentation for PUT is missing.

Not sure if after few years this is still an issue. I did not find any clear doc, so here you go.

curl --location --request PUT 'https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/<WORKSPACE_NAME>/<REPO_NAME>?access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic <CLIENT_LOGIN_CREDENTIAL>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
"is_private": false
}'

The above works.

 

WORKSPACE - is your workspace name

REPO_NAME - is your repository name

ACCESS_TOKEN - is generated by you to access Bitbucket via API. How to do that can be found here and here

CLIENT_LOGIN_CREDENTIAL - is generated by you to access Bitbucket via API. How to do that can be found here
