Permanent Access Token

[Yasir Kusay]

Hi, I followed the guide as shown here to generate an access token https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/use-oauth-on-bitbucket-cloud/

I see that the access token is temporary. Is it possible to generate one that lasts permanently (or at least control its length)?

Hi Yasir,

Have you tried  repository tokens?

[Yasir Kusay]

Thank you for the answer, this was the method I tried before and it did not work. After I ran the command below (replacing, workspace, repositor and repo_access_token)

```

curl --request GET \ --url 'https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/{workspace}/{repository}' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer <repository_access_token>' \ --header 'Accept: application/json'

```

I got this error

{"type": "error", "error": {"message": "Token is invalid or not supported for this endpoint."}}

Wait I got it! It turns out that with this token, you cannot put it between `<>` characters.
