How to parameterize api_token in atlassian.bitbucket.cloud instance?

Automation_ffziuw

Hi, I'm using the atlassian cloud api library to retrieve and create bitbucket repositories.

For the authentication, bitbucket is planning to deprecate the password and using the api_token instead.
https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens

If I am reusing the following python snippet to instantiate the bitbucket cloud object, how do I modify it to use the api_token instead? The code is returning 401 error if I use the generated api_token as the password parameter.

 

from atlassian.bitbucket.cloud import Cloud

cloud = Cloud(
    url=url,
    username=username,
    password=password        # Using api_token https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens
)

codespace = cloud.workspaces.get(workspace)    # Returns 401 unauthorized for https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/workspaces/{workspace}

I've adopted two "terms" which may or may not be official/accurate:

1. an API Token is what you get from the profile security link you shared
2. an API Key is what happens when you encode your userid, a colon, and the API Token you were provided.

Authentication occurs when you put "Basic <your key>" in an Authorization header

I don't speak python, but here is the Powe Query Code:

Base_URL = P_BaseURL,
Email = P_UserEmail,
Token = P_APIToken,
LocalAPIKey = "Basic " & Binary.ToText(Text.ToBinary(Email & ":" & Token), BinaryEncoding.Base64),

Hope this helps
