Hello @George Howell ,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Bitbucket has its own kind "api token" that is called App Passwords, and this is different from the API tokens you create under your Atlassian account settings.

To authenticate git over HTTPS and calls to Bitbucket API you should use your bitbucket username (not the e-mail address), which you can find in your account's personal settings, along with an App Password as your credentials.

Would you please try to use an App password instead of API token and let us know how it goes? 

Thank you @George Howell .

Kind regards,

Patrik S
