How do you find the repo slug?

[Deleted user]

This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: What is a Slug

I understand what a slug IS and I have some idea of how to construct a slug from a name in some cases (the articles gives two examples).

But I'm not interesting in CONSTRUCTING a slug. I want to know what the slug is for my repository. How do I find that?  

"What are you trying to do?" I hear you ask. I'm trying to construct a REST API call which requires that I put in the <owner> and the <repro_slug>. 

Thanks

Hello Dave,

You can find the repo-slug in the URL for your repository.

For example in one of my test repositories, documentation-tests, the URL is:

https://bitbucket.org/teamsinspace/documentation-tests 

Teamsinspace is the owner, and documentation-tests is the repo slug.

So an API call for that would look something like this:

curl https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/teamsinspace/documentation-tests

which would output something like this:

{

Hope that's helpful.

Happy coding,

It would be really helpful if a call to a repository or All repositories contained this slug as a property. They already supply a 'name' and a 'full_name', but these both require some work to manipulate the values into a slugified value.

As BB already generate the slug (it goes into the URL) then why not supply it as a value on the objects returned?

Hi Dave,

The repository slug is found in the URL for your repository. For example, in the following public Atlassian repository https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/atlassian-webhooks-plugin. The repository slug is `atlassian-webhooks-plugin`. This is the format for all repo URLs on bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/<owner_username>/<repository_slug>
