Can we get all remote branches in a Repo which are not updated for more than 180 days?

I would like to leverage Bitbucket api to get all remote branches(including merged and unmerged) in a repo which have not been updated for more than 180 days

Hey Sudheer! It definitely looks like what you're wanting to do is possible with just 2 API endpoints. You'd need to first iterate through the values (repos) provided from the /2.0/repositories/{workspace} endpoint to get a list of your repos and their respective repo-slugs. Once you've got that, you can pass the slug into the /2.0/repositories/{workspace}/{repo-slug}/refs/branches endpoint to get details on the last updated timestamp. Then you simply need to compare the timestamps with whatever date/time you wish.

At a super high level this would look like the following in python:

def repos():

    # https://developer.atlassian.com/bitbucket/api/2/reference/resource/repositories/%7Bworkspace%7D

    yield repo.get('name), repo.get('slug')

def branches(repo):

    # https://developer.atlassian.com/bitbucket/api/2/reference/resource/repositories/%7Bworkspace%7D/%7Brepo_slug%7D/refs/branches

    yield branch.get('name'), branch.get('target').get('date')

def main():

    for repo_name, repo_slug in repos():

        for branch_name, branch_date in branches(repo_slug):

            if branch_date < desired_date: #less than == older than

                print(f'{branch_name} on {repo_name} is older than desired.')
