Is it possible to fork a repository with Bitbucket API?

[sotayamashita]

I would like to fork a repository with Bitbucket API like GitHub has. https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/forks/#create-a-fork. Is it possible?

Thanks in advance.

API v2 for documentation:

https://developer.atlassian.com/bitbucket/api/2/reference/resource/repositories/%7Busername%7D/%7Brepo_slug%7D/forks

Overview of solution is to POST to the /repo/forks/ endoint

Hi! 

Please, try below thread

I appreciate your answer but they talked about old API version in the thread and I cannot find the same one in new API version below:

The 2.0 documentation is here but the POST body seems complicated.  Would really like some actual examples... ie what are the minimum required fields?

I was able to figure this out using chrome tools while creating a fork from the BB UI.   Here is a minimal example:

Imagine I have a repo `foo` in workspace `myspace`.  And I want to fork it into `foo-fork` in the same workspace.  The request is

POST {{BB_API}}/repositories/myspace/myspace/forks

{

  "is_private": true,

  "scm": "git",

  "name": "foo-fork",

  "workspace":{

      "slug":"myspace"

  }

}

Can you provide a full template as an example.
