Is there an API endpoint to generate a repository's security access token?

[Dean Christian Armada]

Hello,

I tried the python snippet below however, it returned 'This endpoint does not support token-based authentication'.

import json

import requests




access_token = "sample_token"

workspace = "sample_workspace"

repo_name = "sample_repo"

url = f"https://api.bitbucket.org/internal/repositories/{workspace}/{repo_name}/access-tokens"

headers = { "Accept": "application/json", "Content-Type": "application/json", "Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}" }

payload = json.dumps({ "name": "Test2", "scopes": ["webhook", "pipeline", "pipeline:write", "pipeline:variable", "runner:write"] })

response = requests.request( "POST", url, data=payload, headers=headers )

My general intention is for automation. I would like to avoid doing manual work for setting-up a bitbucket pipeline workflow where in the process it will trigger another pipeline on another repo from a particular bitbucket pipeline using `pipe: atlassian/trigger-pipeline` where the authorization that will be used is `BITBUCKET_ACCESS_TOKEN`.

Regards,

Hi and welcome to the community!

As Aron said, this is not possible at the moment. We have a feature request for the ability to manage access tokens via API:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-23192

You can add your vote (by selecting the Vote for this issue link) to express your interest and you can also add yourself as a watcher (by selecting the Start watching this issue link) if you'd like to be notified via email on updates.

Kind regards,

Okay thanks!

@Dean Christian Armada I think, similarly to the Atlassian API tokens, these cannot be created through the API, because that would reduce their level of security.
