Rest API to search a string in all the repositories in Bitbucket?

amit raj_jfashg

Hello Friends,

I would like to search a string in all the Bitbucket server repositories using Rest API.

I can search the code from the Bitbucket Server "Search Box" but it is not possible if there are multiple strings to search and generate a report.

a common use case would be- search all repositories where a common password is exposed.

Is there any Rest API available or could you suggest any workaround?

Thank you

Hi All,

 I was able to search a string using ELS Rest api. 

this is the the endpoint-

http://<ELSEARCHURL>:9200/bitbucket-search-v1/_search?size=1000&from=0&q=<string-to-search&gt;

eg. if your Bitbucket ELS is hosted on 192.168.10.1 at port 9200 and you would like to search the string "Test"

http://192.168.10.1:9200/bitbucket-search-v1/_search?size=1000&from=0&q=test

please note that it is huge search you need to iterate the loop until search does not find a string.

I wrote a small python program to do that.
