Bitbucket REST API parameter "filterText" whole/exact word

[Sebastien Ashby]

Hi,

I am using the following Bitbucket REST API:

• https://docs.atlassian.com/bitbucket-server/rest/7.21.0/bitbucket-rest.html

Specifically:

• /rest/api/1.0/projects/{projectKey}/repos/{repositorySlug}/branches

Said API has the following parameter:

• parameter : filterText
• value: string
• description: the text to match on

My problem is that the returned branches are those whose name CONTAINS the value of the "filterText" parameter.

Whereas I seek to get only the branch whose name is EXACTLY the value of the "filterText" parameter.

Please help.

Thanks

S.

Hi,

Answering my own question.
API has the following parameter:

• parameter : boostMatches
• value: boolean
• description: controls whether exact and prefix matches will be boosted to the top

If an exact match is found, it will be the first element returned.
