Duplicate or Copy repository in Bitbucket using REST API

Question

I have a base repository in Bitbucket project and I need to create new repository based on this base repository using REST API. The new repository has to contain all the files from the base repository.

How can I do do it?

Answer 1

The way to do it is by forking the repository this way:

• Using Http POST
• URI: http://{IP}:{PORT}/rest/api/1.0/projects/{PROJECT_NAME}/repos/{REPO_NAME}/
• Authorization - use BasicAuth
• Content-Type - "application/json"
• Body: { "slug": "URL_FRIENDLY_NAME", "name": "NEW_REPO_NAME", "project": { "key": "PROJECT_NAME" } }
