Rest API does not return file from downloads folder

[Janne Jussila]

When running below request nothing is returned

curl --request GET \ --url 'https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/{workspace}/{repo_slug}/downloads/{filename}' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer <access_token>'

Access rights should be right since running

curl --request GET \ --url 'https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/{workspace}/{repo_slug}/downloads' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer <access_token>'

returns JSON describing contents of downloads folder including the file I'm trying to fetch.

Also running request to 

curl --request GET \ --url 'https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/{workspace}/{repo_slug}/src/master/README.md'  \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer <access_token>'

returns repo's README.md as expected. 

Any idea what's wrong on downloads folder GET request?

Hi @Janne Jussila,

Welcome to the community.

Would it be possible for you to try to use the CURL command below instead?

curl -s -L --request GET --header 'Authorization: Bearer <access_token>' https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/workspace_id/repo_name/downloads/filename.txt --output filename.txt

Let me know how it goes.

Hi Mark,

I have tried with --output test.txt and also w/ -O. After these I do have file, but it's empty. 

I can see from logs that no data is actually received.

OOPS.....

didn't notice that your proposed curl had -s -L at start...

now it works. Thank a lot,
