Bitbucket Data CenterInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the Bitbucket Data Center API, allowing users to perform various operations on Bitbucket resources. Specifically, for the File resource with the Get operation, it retrieves the content of a file stored in a Bitbucket repository.

Typical use cases include:

• Automating retrieval of source code or configuration files from a Bitbucket repository.
• Integrating Bitbucket file contents into CI/CD pipelines or other automation workflows.
• Fetching specific files for analysis, backup, or processing within n8n workflows.

For example, you can configure this node to fetch the src/main.js file from a particular project and repository, then use its content downstream in your workflow for linting, testing, or deployment tasks.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the file information retrieved from Bitbucket. For the Get operation on the File resource, the output JSON typically includes metadata about the file and its content at the specified path.

The exact structure depends on the Bitbucket API response but generally contains fields such as:

• File path
• File size
• Content encoding or raw content (depending on API)
• Commit or branch reference where the file was fetched

No binary data output is indicated for this operation; the file content is returned as part of the JSON response, often base64 encoded if applicable.

Dependencies

• Requires access to a Bitbucket Data Center instance.
• Requires authentication credentials configured in n8n, either via:
  • A personal access token credential.
  • Basic authentication credential (username and password).
• The node uses the Bitbucket Data Center REST API endpoints under /rest/api/1.0.

Troubleshooting

• Authentication errors: Ensure that the provided personal access token or basic auth credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions to access the target project and repository.
• File not found: Verify that the file path is correct and exists in the specified repository and branch.
• API request failures: Network issues or incorrect server URLs can cause request failures. Confirm the Bitbucket server URL is correctly set in credentials.
• Unsupported operations: Using an unsupported operation or resource combination will throw an error indicating the operation is not supported.
• Permission denied: The authenticated user must have read access to the project and repository to retrieve files.
