Bitbucket branch creation date

Hi,

I am trying to find a way to get all the older branches from bitbucket for a particular project repository slug. There doesn't seem to be anything in the returned json from the api call to suggest when the branch was created or last updated.

I am using:

http://localhost/bitbucket/rest/api/latest/projects/{projectId}/repos/{repo}/branches?details=true

This does not return any date/time info at all. How would I know how old a branch is?

Regards,

For anyone that might stumble upon this. If you have admin on the repo, you can go to the Push Log and choose the branch name to get the push history. The first entry is the creation date in bitbcket. 

Note that this might be different than the actual date the branch was created locally which can be retrieved using git commands.

I'm also trying the same want to get all the branches from bitbucket for a particular project repository slug but not receiving branch creation details in JSON response.

Any suggestion ? How this can be achieve ?

Hey Nasir, 

Unfortunately Bitbucket doesn't store the date that a branch is created. You may be able to find this this using some git commands. Checkout this StackOverflow article that may help.

Hello @Ben Stuart ,

Can you tell me then how we can check whether the branch is recreated with same name or not. As all the commands are showing the commit info instead of branch creation date. Is there any possibility to check whether the branch is deleted during pull request or not.
