Can I use the UUID of a repository to find the URL?

[Jackson Jenkins]

I'd like to have a unique identifier for each repository and want to avoid assigning each one a part number. Is there a way to get to the repository given the UUID? Is there a way to find the URL for the repository given the UUID?

Hi all,
I just wrote this article to try to clarify this topic for the future:

Working with UUIDs and their curly brackets, workspace names or repository slugs in Bitbucket 

Let me know if you have any feedback,

Caterina

Hi Jackson, 

welcome to the community!

You can use the Bitbucket cloud repository REST API endpoint 

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/bitbucket/rest/api-group-repositories/#api-repositories-workspace-repo-slug-get

to fetch repository details, including the uuid (with the curly brackets).

You can then access the repository via the uuid (including the curly brackets)

For example https://bitbucket.org/<workspace>/{3ccc67c9-2251-4216-bdce-5400cd864026}/

Hope that helps, let me know how you go.

Best, Ulrich

After some searching I found you can use the link bitbucket.org/workspace/{UUID} to go to the repository. It is important to include the curly braces.
