Get my user's Atlassian account ID

[Ronny Orot]

Hi,
I'm trying to find a way to get my user's 'Atlassian account ID' from the Bitbucket or Atlassian UI.
Is there a way to do that?

Hi all,

I just wrote this article about how to retrieve the users' Atlassian Account ID for Bitbucket Cloud in two different use cases:

Retrieve the Atlassian Account ID (AAID) in bitbucket.org

@Ronny Orot , fire the REST API https:<base-url>/rest/api/2/myself and you will receive the JSON response which will contain the Account ID

Using the API is a little too complicated in my case since I'll also have to create an access token.
I wish it was just mentioned somewhere in the UI. In GitHub and Gitlab and even BBS it's super easy to get the user identifier.

Found a way without creating an "App password".
All you have to do is be logged in to Bitbucket and then navigate to the link 'https://bitbucket.org/!api/2.0/user'.
The JSON will include your Atlassian account ID in the field called 'account_id`.

Indeed, that's the equivalent of the REST call @Vedant Kulkarni was talking about (GET request in the browser) with credentials (because you're already authenticated).

Good that you found it!

Hope this helps!

This answer is related to Jira.
I tried doing the same in Bitbucket and searching for the URL in different 'profile' pages, but found nothing related to the Atlassian account ID.
