POST service webhook for Bitbucket Server
Repository administrators can add a POST service to a repository. Bitbucket Data Center and Server POSTs to the service URL you specify.
You can use an URL with the following format:
https://server:port/path/The service receives a POST whenever the user pushes to the repository.
The content type header of the POST has an application/json type. The content is a JSON payload that represents the repository push.
Setting up the POST service
You can either set up the POST service manually or you can write a service to automate this. You would write a service if you are integrating an application with Bitbucket.
Set up in the repository settings
- Go to Repository Settings > Hooks
- Click Add hook
- Install the Web Post Hooks for Bitbucket Server app
- Go back to Repository Settings > Hooks
- Find Post-receive WebHooks and choose Enabled
- Add the URLs where Bitbucket should send update messages. You can add 1 to 5 URLs.
- Click Enable
POST data
When a user pushes to a repository, Bitbucket POSTs to the URL you provided. The body of the POST request contains information about the repository where the change originated, a list of recent commits, and the name of the user that made the push.
Example of payload
This is an example of a push that contains one commit that changes 2 files (pom.xml) in folders iridium-common and iridium-magma.
