Bitbucket Server API to get information of all the branches in a repo

[Harshit Singhvi]

Hi Team,

I am looking for a bitbucket server api which provides details for all the  branches in a repo.

For ex:.

The json output should contains details like

- Author of the branch

- Creation date of the branch

- Origin branch if any.

curl -s -u "XXXX":"XXXXX" "https://XXXXXX.com/rest/api/1.0/projects/DEMO/repos/democonfiguration/branches?limit=2000"

Getting this as output

• "size":1000,
• "limit":1000,
• "isLastPage":false,
• "values":[
  1. {
     • "id":"XXXX,
     • "displayId":"XXX",
     • "type":"BRANCH",
     • "latestCommit":"XXXXX",
     • "latestChangeset":"XXXX",
     • "isDefault":false

I am using the above api but i am not getting the desired output (author name , creation date)

Can anyone please help as how can i get the creation date and author name of all branches in a repository

We are using 5.13.0 bitbucket server enterprise edition

Bitbucket doesn't track that sort of metadata yet. You will need a plugin to do it.

Git doesn't either but there are some clever ways to find it I guess. Check out https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12055198/find-out-git-branch-creator/19135644 and see if it helps.

Hi jobin,

Thanks for the reply.

From the stackoverflow I tried the solutions mentioned but again we can get only the last committer of the branch since the creator metadata is not stored in git.

Incase you have any other way please let me know

Thanks
