Getting 500 Internal server error when trying to create a branch restriction using API

Bezawada Ashok November 7, 2023

From the below API curl request, I am trying to create a restriction for push and restrict merges for a repository 

curl --location 'https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/{workspace}/{repo_name}/branch-restrictions' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '[ {
"kind": "push",
"branch_match_kind": "glob",
"pattern": "test",
"users": [{"username": "{username}"}]
},
{
"kind": "restrict_merges",
"branch_match_kind": "glob",
"pattern": "test" ,
"users": [{"username": "{username}"}]
}]'

And I am getting the below error 

{
"type": "error",
"error": {
"message": "Something went wrong",
"id": "674e26aa0b7b4227b3d7bea36d4bfc9c"
}
}

Hi @Bezawada Ashok 

Instead of username try using uuid e.g.: users: [{"uuid": "{xxx}"}]

Hi @Saxea _Flowie_ 

I tried using uuid too instead of usernames. Still i get the same error 

curl --location 'https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/zestmoney/ashok_sandbox/branch-restrictions' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '[
{
"kind": "push",
"branch_match_kind": "glob",
"pattern": "test",
"users": [
{
"uuid": "730581e7-aed6-4c75-b2cd-32f81cbb9a6d"
}
]
},
{
"kind": "restrict_merges",
"branch_match_kind": "glob",
"pattern": "test",
"users": [
{
"uuid": "730581e7-aed6-4c75-b2cd-32f81cbb9a6d"
}
]
}
]'

Error: 
{
"type": "error",
"error": {
"message": "Something went wrong",
"id": "6d61caada38d4ab7922a00068e8bf583"
}
}

The uuid need to be around "{...}", so uuid: "{730581e7-aed6-4c75-b2cd-32f81cbb9a6d}"

Bezawada Ashok November 9, 2023

Still i am getting the same error even after making that change

curl --location 'https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/zestmoney/ashok_sandbox/branch-restrictions' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '[
{
"kind": "push",
"branch_match_kind": "glob",
"pattern": "test",
"users": [
{
"uuid": "{730581e7-aed6-4c75-b2cd-32f81cb9a6d}"
}
]
},
{
"kind": "restrict_merges",
"branch_match_kind": "glob",
"pattern": "test",
"users": [
{
"uuid": "{730581e7-aed6-4c75-b2cd-32f81cb9a6d}"
}
]
}
]'

Error:
{
"type": "error",
"error": {
"message": "Something went wrong",
"id": "7f89a4159a064e8eb8c2b7ef43d5cdb7"

It should be one POST for each entry, instead of sending an array for data.

Bezawada Ashok November 9, 2023

@Saxea _Flowie_ 
Yes, it is working if i hit each entry in a separate POST request. 

Also, is there any API which I can use for adding default reviewers to a repository?
