Hi Umar, welcome to the Community!

Thank you for your question and for showing us the output you're receiving. To help you with this, we'll need to know what request are you sending to Bitbucket, can you show us the exact command you're using?

Also, note that projects are only available for teams, so you should be creating it in a Team account and not an individual account. Your user also needs to have the necessary permissions to create projects in the team.

Cheers,

Ana

Hi Ana,

Thanks for your reply here is my complete code

body=$(cat << EOF

{

    "name": "UDZ",

    "key": "UDZ",

    "description": "Umar Draz Api Testing",

    "links": {

        "avatar": {

            "href": "http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/guillendesign/variations-3/256/Default-Icon-icon.png"

        }

    },

    "is_private": true

}

EOF

)



curl -v -u myusername:mypassword -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

       -X POST \

       -d "$body" \

       https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/teams/<team_name>/projects/ 

The username, password and team name is dummy, because I can not share here.

Hi Umar,

I've tried reproducing this issue using the code you provided and it worked for me. You can see my output here:

curl -D- -u USERNAME:APP-PASSWORD -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"name":"UDZ","key":"UDZ","description":"Umar Draz Api Testing","links":{"avatar":{"href":"http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/guillendesign/variations-3/256/Default-Icon-icon.png"}},"is_private":true}' https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/teams/TEAM-NAME/projects/

HTTP/2 201
server: nginx
vary: Authorization
[…]

{
  "description": "Umar Draz Api Testing",
  "links": {
    "self": {
      "href": "https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/teams/TEAM-NAME/projects/UDZ"
[....]
}

This confirms that the code you're using is correct, and the issue must rely on the authentication, as outlined in the error message in the response header you provided:

< HTTP/2 401

Once you re-try the steps, make sure the authentication is correct by completing the following: 

1. Make sure you're using the right credentials, they must be your username and an App password (not your personal password).
2. The App password needs to have the right permissions for the project. If you don't remember if you granted it the right permissions, I'd suggest you create a new App password, the instructions can be found at App passwords. 
3. Your user must also have permissions to access the team and create projects.

 Let us know how it goes!

Cheers,

Ana

Hi Ana,

The App password worked. Thanks for your help :)
