The Bitbucket Server REST API (2023)

FAQs

What is the API limit in Bitbucket Server? ›

On Bitbucket Cloud, the API rate limit is 1,000 calls per hour for authenticated users as described in this guide.

If more than 1000 requests are made from your server to Bitbucket, Bitbucket will start throwing 429s to your website. Also it's worth understanding that this rate limiting occurs on a rolling basis.

Bitbucket Cloud is a web-based version of Bitbucket that is hosted on Atlassian's servers and accessible via a URL. Pipelines, an exclusive built-in CI/CD tool in Bitbucket Cloud, allows you to create, test, and deploy directly from Bitbucket. Bitbucket Server is installed on your computer and runs in your environment.

The maximum data payload size for requests to this endpoint is 128 mb. The maximum rate limit is 60 files per hour per account (aka profile).

To use a REST API, your application will make an HTTP request and parse the response. Your methods will be the standard HTTP methods like GET, PUT, POST and DELETE. REST APIs operate over HTTP(s) making it easy to use with any programming language or framework.

Step #1 – Enter the URL of the API in the textbox of the tool. Step #2 – Select the HTTP method used for this API (GET, POST, PATCH, etc). Step #3 – Enter any headers if they are required in the Headers textbox. Step #4 – Pass the request body of the API in a key-value pair.

How do I fix 429 too many requests? ›

The simplest way to fix an HTTP 429 error is to wait to send another request. Often, this status code is sent with a “Retry-after” header that specifies a period of time to wait before sending another request. It may specify only a few seconds or minutes.

In the API Console, there is a similar quota referred to as Requests per 100 seconds per user. By default, it is set to 100 requests per 100 seconds per user and can be adjusted to a maximum value of 1,000. But the number of requests to the API is restricted to a maximum of 10 requests per second per user.

You'll need at least 3GB available memory. We recommend 1GB for Bitbucket and an additional 2GB to support Git operations. Your specific hardware requirements will depend on the number and frequency of Git operations and the number of active users.

Bitbucket Server is a Git repository management solution designed for professional teams. It's part of the Atlassian product family along with Jira, Confluence, and many more tools designed to help teams unleash their full potential.

There is no limit to amount of data that those APIs can return: the bigger query, the longer response time.

The maximum value is 30 seconds.

The Rest max content limit is set via the property glide. rest. max_content_length which is defaulted at 10MB, min is 1MB, max is 25MB on the target instance.

One of the best ways to improve API performance is by caching to serve content faster. If there are concurrent requests frequently producing the same response, then the response can be cached to avoid excessive database queries and provide quick access.

An API owner will include a limit on the number of requests or amount of total data a client can consume. This limit is described as an API rate limit. An example of an API rate limit could be the total number of API calls per month or a set metric of calls or requests during another period of time.

How do you handle a large number of API calls? ›

Under Settings > Repository Details after clicking on "Retrieve Size Details".

In Bitbucket Cloud, a repository admin can see the size under "Repository Details" under Settings. In Bitbucket Server too, you can view it under Settings > Repository Details after clicking on "Retrieve Size Details".

For example, a REST API would use a GET request to retrieve a record, a POST request to create one, a PUT request to update a record, and a DELETE request to delete one. All HTTP methods can be used in API calls. A well-designed REST API is similar to a website running in a web browser with built-in HTTP functionality.

To get JSON from a REST API endpoint, you must send an HTTP GET request to the REST API server and provide an Accept: application/json request header. The Accept: application/json header tells the REST API server that the API client expects to receive data in JSON format.

We can develop such REST API, programming them to send the response according to the input header of the HTTP request. There is a Media-Type attribute in the header which can be used in such cases and the response can be sent accordingly.

How to handle 1,000 requests per second in REST API? ›

To handle high traffic, you should setup Load Balancer with multiple node/instances. Better to go with Auto Scaling on Cloud server. It will increase the instances as per high load (number or request) and again decrease the instances when there will be low number of requests. Which is cost effective.

API failures happen for multiple reasons, but most of them can be boiled down to these three culprits: Software changes happening too quickly. Breakdowns in communication among teams. Bad data that is incompatible with your API.

To handle 'millions of request' the system must be deployed on multiple web servers behind a load-balancer that would round robin between each. if the system is hitting a datastore, a second level cache(ehcache, memcache,etc.) should be used to reduce load on the datastore.

The HTTP 429 Too Many Requests response status code indicates the user has sent too many requests in a given amount of time ("rate limiting"). A Retry-After header might be included to this response indicating how long to wait before making a new request.

Sometimes the servers get overloaded (a 503 error), or the server goofs (a 500 error) or the server has a limit on the number of requests to protect against a 503 error and you went over that limit (a 429 error).

API responses

These are the typical cases that can trigger overload protection or rate limiting: An API key you're using has exceeded the maximum number of requests per minute. Our system is generally overloaded, and we need some accounts decrease their reporting.

Bitbucket is free for individuals and small teams with up to 5 users, with unlimited public and private repositories.

Ensure BitBucket pull requests require at least 2 approvals.

Before going any further, check and save your work on the local machine and update the branch. Then, open the Bitbucket website on your browser and navigate to the repository in question. Click on the menu button in the top-left, and select Pull Requests. Here, click on the Create pull request button.

What is Bitbucket Server URL? ›

The base URL is the root URL for your installation of Bitbucket Data Center and Server. For example, https://teamsinspace.yourdomain.com. All links which are not from a web request (for example in Bitbucket email notifications), will be prefixed by this URL.

API INFO: The Base URL used for the Bitbucket Server connector is http://host:port. More information can be found on their main API documentation (v1. 0) site.

The Bitbucket home directory is where your Bitbucket Server data is stored. The home directory location is defined either by the BITBUCKET_HOME environment variable, or in the BITBUCKET_HOME line of: Windows: <Bitbucket Server installation directory > \bin\ set-bitbucket-home. bat.

if it's bitbucket.yourcompany.com then it's server. if it's bitbucket.org it's cloud. You should also be able to scroll to the bottom of a page within bitbucket and it will display the application and it's version.

Bitbucket Data Center's REST APIs provide access to resources (data entities) via URI paths. To use a REST API, your application will make an HTTP request and parse the response. The Bitbucket Data Center REST API uses JSON as its communication format, and the standard HTTP(S) methods like GET, PUT, POST and DELETE.

The exceeding of API calls limit means that your number of active users generating API calls that exceeds the limit of your current plan. Whenever your app generates more API calls per second than is allowed by your plan, you will receive an email notification.

An API owner will include a limit on the number of requests or amount of total data a client can consume. This limit is described as an API rate limit. An example of an API rate limit could be the total number of API calls per month or a set metric of calls or requests during another period of time.

How many API requests is too many? ›

General quota limits

10 queries per second (QPS) per IP address. In the API Console, there is a similar quota referred to as Requests per 100 seconds per user. By default, it is set to 100 requests per 100 seconds per user and can be adjusted to a maximum value of 1,000.

You'll need at least 3GB available memory. We recommend 1GB for Bitbucket and an additional 2GB to support Git operations. Your specific hardware requirements will depend on the number and frequency of Git operations and the number of active users.

Push limit

Must be no larger than 3.5 GB per push.
