Need rest API endpoint to detect pull request merge conflicts before creating pull request as below , so if we are going to take bitbucket UI automatically detect conflicts file before creation PR. 

Please let me know which endpoint should I use to detect conflicts before creating PR.

Hey @mohan yadav ,

thank you for reaching out to Community!

You should be able to "preview" a file conflict in a merge by using the diffstat endpoint and comparing the two branches of the pull request: 

• Compare two commit diff stats 

In the path of the URL you can either provide the commits you wish to compare, or the branch names.

For the conflicted files, the output will show the field "status": "merge conflict."

You can find more details and examples in this other similar question here in Community:

• Bitbucket Cloud - Check if a pull request has conflicts 

Thank you, @mohan yadav !
