Creating a pull request via API

perfecto25

hello, Im wondering if its possible to create a new pull req using Bitbuckets API? Im trying to automate a process where a JIRA requests sends a POST with a ticket Json, and my shell script then adds a new file to a repo, commits, creates a new branch, pushes to master, and then finally creates a Pull Request for review.

I browsed the docs and it seems like I can only do GET. Is it possible to create new pull requests?

Im avoiding using other solutions like the Stash CLI gem due to ruby version requirements. Thanks.

POST against: /rest/api/1.0/projects/{projectKey}/repos/{repositorySlug}/pull-requests

As the reference docs state: "Creates a new pull request between two branches."

https://developer.atlassian.com/static/rest/bitbucket-server/4.9.1/bitbucket-rest.html#idp2046528

Example POST from the reference docs:

{
    "title": "Talking Nerdy",
    "description": "It’s a kludge, but put the tuple from the database in the cache.",
    "state": "OPEN",
    "open": true,
    "closed": false,
    "fromRef": {
        "id": "refs/heads/feature-ABC-123",
        "repository": {
            "slug": "my-repo",
            "name": null,
            "project": {
                "key": "PRJ"
            }
        }
    },
    "toRef": {
        "id": "refs/heads/master",
        "repository": {
            "slug": "my-repo",
            "name": null,
            "project": {
                "key": "PRJ"
            }
        }
    },
    "locked": false,
    "reviewers": [
        {
            "user": {
                "name": "charlie"
            }
        }
    ],
    "links": {
        "self": [
            null
        ]
    }
}

p.s. I invite you to try my Bitbucket and JIRA add-ons. Bit-Booster Commit Graph and More (for Bitbucket), and Git Graph for JIRA.

thanks for that.

Im running it like this,

curl -u username:MyPassword -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://mybitbucket.com/rest/api/1.0/projects/myProject/repos/myRepo/pull-requests -X POST --data req.json

Json looks like this,

{
'title': 'testing-pull-req',
'description': 'testing testing',
'state': 'OPEN',
'open': true,
'closed': false,
'fromRef': {
'id': 'refs/heads/test-branch',
'repository': {
'slug': 'myRepo',
'name': null,
'project': {
'key': 'myProject'
}
}
},
'toRef': {
'id': 'refs/heads/master',
'repository': {
'slug': 'myRepo',
'name': null,
'project': {
'key': 'MyProject'
}
}
},
}
}

getting weird error,

{"errors":[{"context":null,"message":"Unexpected character ('r' (code 114)): expected a valid value (number, String, array, object, 'true', 'false' or 'null')\n at [Source: com.atlassian.stash.internal.web.util.web.CountingServletInputStream@3e7de6ce; line: 1, column: 2]","exceptionName":"org.codehaus.jackson.JsonParseException"}]}

cant find anything on this, I checked the JSON syntax its valid.

ok made it work, for some reason it didint like the json file, I formatted the whole thing as a compact 1-liner,

{"title":"test","description":"test","fromRef":{"id":"refs/heads/test-branch","repository":{"slug":"test-repo","name":null,"project":{"key":"myProject"}}},"toRef":{"id":"refs/heads/master","repository":{"slug":"myRepo","name":null,"project":{"key":"MyProj"}}}}

ran it like this,

curl -u user:myPW -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://bitbucket.server.com/rest/api/1.0/projects/myProject/repos/myRepo/pull-requests -X POST --data '{"title":"test","description":"test","fromRef":{"id":"refs/heads/test-branch","repository":{"slug":"test-repo","name":null,"project":{"key":"myProject"}}},"toRef":{"id":"refs/heads/master","repository":{"slug":"myRepo","name":null,"project":{"key":"MyProj"}}}}'

works

Might have been the single-quotes messing things up. Single-quotes are valid for JavaScript, but invalid for JSON.

Try to use like below... worked for me..

curl -u user:myPW -H "Content-Type: application/jso https://bitbucket.server.com/rest/api/1.0/projects/myProject/repos/myRepo/pull-requests -X POST --data @req.json

command executed successfully but no luck. Pull requests didn't get generated. Here is the command which I fired.

curl -u myUserName:myPwd -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://bitbucket.org/rest/api/1.0/projects/myProject/repos/myCore/pull-requests -X POST --data '{"title":"merge","description":"merge","fromRef":{"id":"refs/heads/testBranch","repository":{"slug":"myCore","name":null,"project":{"key":"testBranch"}}},"toRef":{"id":"refs/heads/toBranch","repository":{"slug":"myRepo","name":null,"project":{"key":"testBranch"}}}}'
