Accessing the bit bucket branches and their contents programmatically

Question

I need to list out the contents of a bitbucket branch. I am able to see the branch when I run the below code but am unable to figure out how to enter the branch. Giving the branch id is also not helping. The code so far:

package com.bitbucket.test;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;
//import com.atlassian.bitbucket.branch.model.*;

public class BitBucketPluginTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        URL bb = new URL("https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/{reponame}");
        URLConnection bbcon = bb.openConnection();
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                                new InputStreamReader(
                                bbcon.getInputStream()));


        String inputLine;

        while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) 
            System.out.println(inputLine);
        in.close();
    }
}

I have removed the repo name due to security issues. I am getting the data in JSON format currently. Any guidance is appreciated.

What do you mean by "enter the branch"? – ChrisGPT was on strike Aug 30 '16 at 11:40 — ChrisGPT was on strike, Aug 30 '16 at 11:40
getting the commits into that branch of the repository. – Pallavi Prasad Aug 30 '16 at 14:50 — Pallavi Prasad, Aug 30 '16 at 14:50

Use the start argument to the GET a list of changesets endpoint:

https://api.bitbucket.org/1.0/repositories/jespern/django-piston/changesets?start=0.2.2-maint

It worked. I am able to get the list of files within the repository and its branches. – Pallavi Prasad Aug 31 '16 at 05:27
