How to find Bitbucket Account UUID?

Question

Since bitbucket no longer supported the use of username. We must instead use User uuid for accessing the bitbucket api's.

Yes, and you provided a link to a JSON data that includes the UUID. What real life programming problem is in question? — matt, Dec 31 '18 at 06:04

You can make a GET request for a repository that you own and see your UUID listed under the owner attribute:

curl https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/1team/moxie

Or you could possibly make a GET request for all team members of a team you're a part of and see their UUID's there

curl https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/teams/1team/members

What do you mean "1team" for teamname? What if the repo does not belong to a team? And what to you mean "moxie" for repo-name? Is it just the name of repo, such as "my-xx-application"? What if other people have the same repo-name? – Zi Sang Mar 16 '23 at 07:40

I can't believe it could be this hard to get my own UUID. The way i fixed it was to create a public repo and then run this curl command

curl https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/<bitbucketusername>/testrepo

the ouput contained my UUID. I then obviously deleted the unsafe public repo.

When using authenticated access you can make a GET request to /2.0/user and you will get the authenticated user's information:

$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/user

You need the value of account_id to access the API resources.

What's the value `$TOKEN` in this request? Where do you get it from? – Adil Hussain Dec 01 '20 at 17:27

That is not the UUID of the user but that of the repository. – Dominik Sandjaja Aug 24 '23 at 06:31
