Receive 'You are not permitted to access this resource' when accessing bitbucket api from plugin

Vivian Zhang_j6pnp4

I'm trying to access a bitbucket commit through its REST api (Could not find the proper way through Bitbucket server api).  Here is the url I'm calling "http://localhost:7990/bitbucket/rest/api/1.0/projects/PROJECT_1/repos/rep_1/commits/current".  It works fine on browser, and return a json about commit 'current', which has commit message, author, etc.  My goal is to retrieve the commit message from it. 

However, when I'm calling the same url from the bitbucket plugin I put together, it only return {"errors":[{"context":null,"message":"You are not permitted to access this resource","exceptionName":"com.atlassian.bitbucket.AuthorisationException"}]} .  I'm using HttpClient and GetMethod to get the response from the url.  It did not work either after adding base authentication to the url like the following:

"http://admin:admin@localhost:7990/bitbucket/rest/api/1.0/projects/PROJECT_1/repos/rep_1/commits/current", where admin has the read/write access to rep_1.

What did I miss here?

Hi @Vivian Zhang,

The problem is likely with the way the authentication is performed, let's understand more about the plugin.

Is that running a curl command, maybe using Phyton code? Or is it based on Java code?

 

In case you are using REST APIs, the authentication options are listed on the Bitbucket Server - REST page (see the "Authentication") and there is an example using curl on this article.
