how to hit bitbucket API using Python requests module

[Cody Childers]

Hi, I would like to know how to use bitbucket API using python requests. I love bitbucket, and using the API is very important to my main project. My attempts and failed tries are all at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31061227/curl-vs-python-requests-when-hitting-apis which will give anyone answering a good starting point. Thank you,

Cody

Hello Cody,

Thank you for your question.

# ===============
# get user
# ===============
import requests
import json

# [BITBUCKET-BASE-URL], i.e.: https://bitbucket.org/
url = '[BITBUCKET-BASE-URL]/api/1.0/user/'
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}

# get user
# [USERNAME], i.e.: myuser
# [PASSWORD], i.e.: itspassword
r = requests.get(url, auth=('[USERNAME]', '[PASSWORD]'), headers=headers)
print(r.status_code)
print(r.text)
#print(r.content)

Please, refer to http://restbrowser.bitbucket.org/ for further API calls.
