Download File from Bitbucket repository using powershell

[Shravan]

Hi all,

I am new to Bitbucket and am trying to use PowerShell to download a file from the Bitbucket repository. The downloaded file is throwing the below error. Can someone help me with the same.

Below is the code.

clear;

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force

# Define your Bitbucket credentials
$username = "username"
$password = "password"

# Convert credentials to Base64
$base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $username, $password)))

# Define the Bitbucket URL of the file you want to download
$bitbucketUrl = "gitbucket link to the file"

# Define the local path where you want to save the downloaded file
$localPath = "C:\Temp\Download\usp_GetTableColumns.sql"

# Download the file using Invoke-WebRequest with authentication headers
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $bitbucketUrl -OutFile $localPath -Headers @{ Authorization = "Basic $base64AuthInfo" }

# Check if the file was downloaded successfully
if (Test-Path $localPath) {
Write-Host "File downloaded successfully to: $localPath"
} else {
Write-Host "Failed to download the file."
}

Hi Shravan,

May I know what the $password variable is referring to? We no longer support username/password authentication, so you will need to use App Password for authentication if you are not already doing so.

Cheers!
