Overview
This node is designed to interact with the Bitbucket Data Center API, enabling automation and integration workflows around Bitbucket projects, repositories, pull requests, branches, commits, users, and issues. However, for the Issue resource, direct operations are not supported by the Bitbucket Data Center API itself. Instead, the node explicitly instructs users to use Jira integration for issue management.
In practical terms, this means that while you can manage many aspects of Bitbucket Data Center through this node, creating or updating issues directly in Bitbucket Data Center is not possible here. If your workflow involves issue tracking, you should connect to Jira or another issue tracker instead.
Typical scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Automating repository creation and updates.
- Managing pull requests (creating, merging, declining).
- Handling branches and commits programmatically.
- Retrieving user information.
- Managing projects and repositories within Bitbucket Data Center.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Authentication | Method of authentication: "Personal Access Token" or "Basic Auth". |
| Project | The project key to work with; selected from available Bitbucket projects. |
| Title | The title of the issue to create or update (required for issue create/update). |
| Content | The content or description of the issue (optional for issue create/update). |
Note: Although the properties include "Title" and "Content" for issues, the node does not support issue operations directly on Bitbucket Data Center.
Output
The output of the node is a JSON array containing the results of the requested operations. For most resources, this includes detailed objects representing projects, repositories, pull requests, branches, commits, or users as returned by the Bitbucket Data Center API.
For the Issue resource, since operations are not supported, the node throws an error indicating that issue operations must be handled via Jira integration instead. Therefore, no successful JSON output related to issue creation or updates will be produced by this node.
The node does not output binary data.
Dependencies
- Requires access to a Bitbucket Data Center server URL.
- Requires credentials for authentication, either:
- A personal access token credential.
- Basic authentication credential.
- The node uses n8n's built-in HTTP request helper with authentication to communicate with the Bitbucket Data Center REST API.
Troubleshooting
Error:
"Issue operations are not directly supported in Bitbucket Data Center. Please use Jira integration instead."
Cause: Attempting to create, update, delete, or get issues using this node.
Resolution: Use a Jira node or other issue tracking integration to manage issues.API Request Failures: Errors like
"Bitbucket Data Center API request failed: <message>"indicate problems with connectivity, authentication, or invalid parameters.
Resolution:- Verify the server URL and network connectivity.
- Check that the provided authentication credentials are correct and have sufficient permissions.
- Ensure required parameters (e.g., project key, repository slug) are correctly set.
Empty or Missing Projects/Repositories: If the dropdown options for projects or repositories do not load, it may be due to insufficient permissions or incorrect credentials.

This summary focuses on the Issue resource with the Create operation as requested. The node does not implement issue creation for Bitbucket Data Center and advises using Jira integration instead.
