Bamboo API only displaying 25 branches of build plan

[christok]

Hello, I am trying to retrieve a list of all the branches of build plan. My ultimate goal is to use this information to automatically create a release from each branch and then automatically deploy those branches.

I didn't get very far in this pursuit because the API method to list all branches of a build plan (https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-bamboo/REST/6.2.5/#d2e1475) only retrieves 25 results. Similar methods behave similarly.

Is there a way to retrieve a list of all branches, or otherwise try to accomplish what I want to do?

Thanks!

Hi @christok

The number of results is set by default to 25. You can change it by using the max-result property when calling the REST API endpoint as Alexey properly shared.

e.g.

curl -u admin:admin -X GET <BAMBOO_URL>/rest/api/latest/plan/<PLAN-KE
Y>/branch?max-result=1000

I see this property is missing in our docs for some of the endpoints including the one you mentioned. I've opened the following improvement request to cover this:

• [BAM-20618] REST API docs: Add the "max-result" property in every rest endpoint that can make use of it

Thank you!

You are welcome!

Try this

curl -H "Accept: application/json" -u admin http://localhost:8085/rest/api/latest/plan/TEST-TEST/branch?max-result=1000

That worked, thanks! The one comment I'd make is that this particular method seems to return JSON not XML.

Hi @christok

If you remove the -H "Accept: application/json" part it will return the XML you want.
