Does Bitbucket provides java API for creating and importing repository ?

Hi @NITIN ALETY,

Bitbucket Cloud doesn't have an API for importing a repository, but we do have a REST API for creating a repo:

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

After creating an empty repo, you can take a mirror clone of the repo from the other hosting provider and then push the mirror clone to the newly created Bitbucket repo.

If you want to migrate from Bitbucket Server to Bitbucket Cloud, we have a plugin to migrate repos:

Kind regards,
Theodora
