Alternate REST API to get the JIRA commit details

[Former user]

Hi Davies,

Thanks for the handy Commit Graph plugin. It is very useful plugin both the ones to be installed in Bitbucket and JIRA. This helps from end-user point of view.

Can you please let me know if there is a REST API that can get similar details? We need this for automating build report activities.

We have currently built CLI tool using Python to get similar details using below two REST API-

1. Bitbucket Server API - /rest/jira/1.0/issues/{issueKey}/commits

2. Bitbucket Server API - /rest/branch-utils/1.0/projects/{projectKey}/repos/{repositorySlug}/branches/info/{commitId}

The logic would be get all commits for given JIRA Issue key and pass it to the 2nd API to get the detailed commit information in the branch.

But we notice that once the commit is merged to the default branch (example - develop/master) of the repository, the 2nd API does not list the other branches to which this commit would also have been merged. This is quite annoying.

Example -

1. Commit done in feature branch

2. Feature branch merged to default branch (say - develop)

3. develop branch merged to release branch

In this case, the 2nd API does not list the release branch in which this commit also exists. Your plugin provides these details i.e. shows both develop and release branch but the Bitbucket Server REST API "rest/branch-utils/1.0/projects/{projectKey}/repos/{repositorySlug}/branches/info/{commitId}" does not show release branch in the API results.

Now if I were to change the default branch from develop to some other branch say master, then the API lists both develop and release branches in the result.

Any pointers to use alternate APIs to get required information for Bitbucket Server?

We are also interested in knowing the REST API of Control Freak so we can automate settings via Groovy script. Is there any REST API documentation for this plugin? I first looked as to where other plugins are located but couldn’t find anything.

Control-Freak does not use a REST api.

Commit-Graph does have a REST api, but it’s very focused on its own needs. If you want to play around with the Commit-Graph REST api, look here (adjust to suit your Bitbucket instance)!

Puddleglum, shoot me an email at [e-mail] and I can help you put together a script to set Control-Freak settings using old fashioned POST with application/x-www-form-urlencoded data !

Hi,

Thanks very much for your response.

Thanks for PR Booster functionalities, we have purchased the plugin. We need to leverage the Commit-Graph REST API. Hence reaching out.

Do you have help documentation that describes the different query parameters that can be passed to the Commit-Graph REST API?
