Snowsand Bitbucket

Interact with Bitbucket Cloud via REST API. Use for repository management, pull request operations (list, view, create, comment, approve, merge), branch management, commit history, pipeline status, and workspace/team queries. Triggers on Bitbucket operations, PR reviews, branch management, pipeline checks, or any Atlassian Bitbucket Cloud task.

Bitbucket Cloud Integration

Bitbucket Cloud REST API v2 integration for repository management, pull requests, branches, commits, and pipelines.

Authentication

Bitbucket Cloud REST v2 uses HTTP Basic auth. Required environment variables:

• BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE - Default workspace slug (e.g., myteam)
• BITBUCKET_USERNAME - Identity for Basic auth (see pairing below)
• BITBUCKET_APP_PASSWORD - Secret for Basic auth (see pairing below)

Two credential types work. Use the matching username for each:

Credential type	BITBUCKET_USERNAME	BITBUCKET_APP_PASSWORD
Atlassian API token (recommended)	your Atlassian account email	the API token
App Password (legacy)	your Bitbucket username (not email)	the app password

Note: despite the variable name, BITBUCKET_APP_PASSWORD accepts an Atlassian API token. For SnowSand's Atlassian - <user>@snowsand.com vault items, the bitbucket-token field is an Atlassian API token, so pair it with the account email as the username.

Atlassian API tokens: https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens App Passwords (legacy): https://bitbucket.org/account/settings/app-passwords/

Required scopes/permissions:

• Repositories: Read, Write (for repo operations)
• Pull requests: Read, Write (for PR operations)
• Pipelines: Read (for pipeline status)
• Account: Read (for user info)

Test connection:

bash

curl -s -u "$BITBUCKET_USERNAME:$BITBUCKET_APP_PASSWORD" \
  "https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/user" | jq .

Cross-workspace listing note: Bitbucket CHANGE-2770 removed the old GET /2.0/workspaces and GET /2.0/user/permissions/workspaces endpoints (they now return HTTP 410). bitbucket.py workspaces uses the supported replacement GET /2.0/user/workspaces. All other commands are workspace-scoped and unaffected.
