Is there an API endpoint to generate a repository's security access token?

Dean Christian Armada

Hello,

 

I tried the python snippet below however, it returned 'This endpoint does not support token-based authentication'.

 

import json

import requests




access_token = "sample_token"

workspace = "sample_workspace"

repo_name = "sample_repo"

url = f"https://api.bitbucket.org/internal/repositories/{workspace}/{repo_name}/access-tokens"

headers = { "Accept": "application/json", "Content-Type": "application/json", "Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}" }

payload = json.dumps({ "name": "Test2", "scopes": ["webhook", "pipeline", "pipeline:write", "pipeline:variable", "runner:write"] })

response = requests.request( "POST", url, data=payload, headers=headers )

 

My general intention is for automation. I would like to avoid doing manual work for setting-up a bitbucket pipeline workflow where in the process it will trigger another pipeline on another repo from a particular bitbucket pipeline using `pipe: atlassian/trigger-pipeline` where the authorization that will be used is `BITBUCKET_ACCESS_TOKEN`.

Hi and welcome to the community!

As Aron said, this is not possible at the moment. We have a feature request for the ability to manage access tokens via API:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-23192
