What is the right way to create a bintray repository using API

Question

I tried to create a bintray repository. But no matter what I specify as repository type it always create a generic repository. Is this a bug?

Answer 1

In the documentations it states that you need to supply the type in the payload, as shown here: "type": "maven".

The possible types are (currently): maven, debian, conan, rpm, docker, npm, opkg, nuget, vagrant and generic (default).

Check that you have at least this minimal payload:

{
  "name": "myMavenRepo",
  "type": "maven",
  "desc": "This repo is my greatest maven repo",
}
