Bitbucket REST API parameter "filterText" whole/exact word

Question

Hi,

I am using the following Bitbucket REST API:

* https://docs.atlassian.com/bitbucket-server/rest/7.21.0/bitbucket-rest.html

Specifically:

* /rest/api/1.0/projects/{projectKey}/repos/{repositorySlug}/branches

Said API has the following parameter:

* parameter : filterText
* value: string
* description: the text to match on

My problem is that the returned branches are those whose name CONTAINS the value of the "filterText" parameter.Whereas I seek to get only the branch whose name is EXACTLY the value of the "filterText" parameter.

Please help.

Thanks

S.

Hi,

Answering my own question.
API has the following parameter:

* parameter : boostMatches
* value: boolean
* description: controls whether exact and prefix matches will be boosted to the top

If an exact match is found, it will be the first element returned.
