Search code API on private repository not working

Question

Hello,

I am trying to search code via API but for some reason it won't return code that is not in a public repository. I have tried repo:repo_slug, but it still won't return it. It will return however code in public repositories of the workspace.

I am using the same token on other routes, and never had that issue between public and private repository.

Example request : {{protocol}}:/ /{{host}}/{{basePath}}workspaces/:workspace/search/code?search_query=repo:{uuid} SearchQuery

Hi @codec,

Could you please let me know what kind of access token you are using for authentication?

There is currently a limitation with workspace access tokens, that cannot be used for authentication with the code search endpoint:

* https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-22586

It should be possible to search using basic auth with username and app password or with an OAuth access token.

Kind regards,
Theodora

PS : it would work with Basic Auth, but not with bearer, is that intended ?
