Java Application for sharing files to bitbucket, which access token do we need to use? how to create

[srinath reddy]

Hi Team,

i am trying to create a java application for sending files to bitbucket account. for this I am trying to use rest-Api's provided by the Atlassian cloud. The problem is, in the official API documentation they are suggesting using <access token> but not specifying which access token. My doubt here is, what is the access token we need to use and how to create that token. can we access the repositories using that token? can we add files to our workspace or repository?

If anyone knows please let me know, it's important for me.

thanks in advance!

Hi @srinath reddy 

I think this doc might help you: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/http-access-tokens-939515499.html

Hi @Erez Maadani

thanks for the reply, 

i have gone through the article you shared, i think that is for server, what i am trying to do is in cloud.

its asking to take licence, A Data Center license is required to create HTTP access tokens for projects and repositories.

is it necessary to take licence or could i achieve it in cloud? 

please let me know if you know anything about this.

thank you!!

Hi @srinath reddy 

It's achievable in the cloud. We have this option so if you don't see it, it could be a permission or a subscription issue.

Hi @Erez Maadani 

i have seen it, but i need to create a repository and need to send files to that repository.

but the access token is available only for the existing repositories. 

i think i need to use OAuth tokens but the process is quite complicated to get the access token and that token is valid for just 2 hours and after that time we need to regenerate token. 

im keep on trying all the possibilities, 

suggest me if you know anything about that,

thankyou so much for the reply!!
