Create user group using bitbucket api

[ArjunKumar Selvamani]

Hi, I am trying to create a user group using bitbucket api.

But failing because of naming exceptions.

Bitbucket Version: 5.5.4.

Command Used:

curl -X POST https://bitbucketurl/rest/api/1.0/admin/groups -v -u <username>:<password> -H 'Content-type: application/json' -d '{"name":"Test", "deletable": true}' --insecure

Error:

{"errors":[{"context":null,"message":"Please enter a non-empty group name that is 255 characters or less.","exceptionName":"com.atlassian.bitbucket.InvalidNameException"}]}

Can someone tell me what is wrong in this

Hi ArjunKumar,

The API endpoint is expecting the "?NAME" flag at the end of the URL in your call. If you append this, you can then see the change in behavior. Please see my example below.
 

curl -u <admin_user> -v -d "{"name":"Test2", "deletable": true}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" "https://bitbucket.mycompany.com/rest/api/1.0/admin/groups?name=Test2"

 Best Regards,

Michael

Arjun,

I'm sorry, I forgot to point out the sample base_url in my example. For anyone else encountering this, it should be simply addressed by updating the "https://bitbucket.mycompany.com" at the start of the URL used. Simply adjust this to match your environment, for example: "http://localhost:7990/"

I hope this helps!

Best Regards,

Michael
