How to get a list of files in a given repo with the rest api?

Question

Hi, I have a project with 20 repos. I would like to get a list of file names for each repo (in the main branch -some are called 'master', some 'main'-).

How do I go about doing this?

I saw this answer in another question, but it didn't really work for me. This is specifically what I tried (to get all the files in one repo's master branch):

/rest/api/1.0/projects/{projectName}/repos/{repoName}/master/files?limit=1000

Where am I going wrong? Ideally I would like to get all files under all repos inside a given project in one call, but if that's not possible I can settle for making an API call per repo to get each of their list of files. I don't need the content, just the file names.

Thanks!

Alright, in the end I just devised a way to do it via JS from the browser (couldn't find any way to do this directly with the Bitbucket API): //The way to run this script is through DevTools (Ctrl+Shift+i) > Sources > '>>' > Snippets > New snippet > copy paste the script there //> run it (while in https:///projects/ //STEP 1: extracts the urls of all repos under let array = document.getElementsByClassName("repository-name"); let links = Array.from(array).map(x=>x.outerHTML.match(/]+href=\"(.*?)\"[^>]*>(.*)?<\/a>/)[1]); // console.log(links); // (25) ["/projects//repos//browse"...] let repoNames = links.map(x=>x.split("/").slice(-2,-1)).flat(); //["repoA", "repoB", "repoC", ...] console.log( repoNames) links.forEach((x,idx)=>fetchEachRepo("https://"+x,repoNames[idx])); //STEP 2: fetches the html of a given url and extracts repo file names function fetchEachRepo(url,repoName){ let parser = new DOMParser(); let htmlDoc; let res; fetch(url) .then(response => response.text()) .then(data=>{ htmlDoc = parser.parseFromString(data, 'text/html'); res=Array.from(htmlDoc.getElementsByClassName("file file-row")).map(x=>x.dataset.itemName); res.unshift(repoName); console.log(res); }) .catch((err)=>console.log(err)); } //NOTES // $('') is an alias for document.querySelector // $$('') is an alias for document.querySelectorAll The end result looks like: ['repoA', 'readme.md', 'contributing.md'...] ['repoB', '.gitignore', ...] ... Hope it helps
