How do i get the file content by passing commit version number?

May i get a bitbucket API to copy the file content by passing the commit version number?

Hello @Shruthi R ,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

The Bitbucket API provides the following endpoint to get the contents of a single file, or the contents of a directory at a specified revision (commit) :

GET /2.0/repositories/{workspace}/{repo_slug}/src/{commit}/{path}

• When path points to a file, this endpoint returns the raw contents.
• When path points to a directory instead of a file, the response is a paginated list of directory and file objects

That being said, and example request to that endpoint would like like the following :

curl --request GET --user <BitbucketUsername>:<AppPassword> --url https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/{workspace}/{repo_slug}/src/{commit}/{path}

For more information about this and other endpoints available on the Bitbucket API, you can refer to the following documentation:

• https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/bitbucket/rest/api-group-source/#api-repositories-workspace-repo-slug-src-commit-path-get
• https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/bitbucket/rest/intro/

Hope that helps to address your question. Let us know if you need further assistance :)

Best regards,
