Trigger Pipeline with API

[Rich Williams]

I've tried a number of different ways to trigger a pipeline through the API following what is specified here:

https://developer.atlassian.com/bitbucket/api/2/reference/resource/repositories/%7Busername%7D/%7Brepo_slug%7D/pipelines/?&_ga=2.154998200.105047403.1555964635-881554301.1552490921#post

I've tried the following url's in an attempt to access the pipelines:

https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/teamname/repo_slug/pipelines

 - with oAuth, APP password, bitbucket login credentials

https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/myusername/repo_slug/pipelines

 - with oAuth, APP password, bitbucket login credentials

{
  "type": "error",
  "error": {
      "message": "Resource not found",
      "detail": "There is no API hosted at this URL.\n\nFor information about our API's, please refer to the documentation at: https://developer.atlassian.com/bitbucket/api/2/reference/"
  }
}

I can get a response when GET ing the main repo endpoint. In this response there is no reference to pipelines endpoint. oAuth and APP passwords all set with full access. oAuth token request responds with:

"scopes": "account:write repository:admin project wiki pipeline:variable team:write repository:delete pullrequest:write issue:write webhook snippet:write",

Any help is appreciated.

I'm not totally sure what the issue was but I believe it may have been a case issue in the URL. The repo name in question had some caps in it. When I tried to access using the same case in the URL it definitely does not work. Must use lower case. Probably obvious but this may help someone else out. Interesting to note using mixed case for a repo name on the repositories endpoint works but not for pipelines.

to trigger my pipeline:

curl -X POST -is -u myusername:APPpassword \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/myteamname/alllowercasereponame/pipelines/ \
-d '
{
"target": {
"ref_type": "branch", 
"type": "pipeline_ref_target", 
"ref_name": "environments/staging"
}
}'

App passwords can be generated here:

https://bitbucket.org/account/user/yourusername/app-passwords

Hey @Rich Williams Thanks a lot for this as it helped me a lot!

For other people landing here and having issue with the

 "There is no API hosted at this URL.\n\nFor information about our API's, please refer to the documentation at: https://developer.atlassian.com/bitbucket/api/2/reference/"

error message when trying to trigger a pipeline, check that you have a final '/' in your URL...
