Welcome back. In this demonstration, we're going to cover off two things, first, we're going to create an app password and then secondly, we're going to use the BitBucket REST API and we're going to authenticate against the API using our app password. For this demonstration, we're going to upload a file into downloads by using the BitBucket REST API. So, the first thing we'll do is, within BitBucket settings at the account level, under access management, app passwords. So, here we click on create app password and we'll call it, Uploader, so we're uploading files into the download area of our repository using the REST API, therefore, we'll give it Write permissions and we'll click Create. So, that generates a password, which we'll then copy. Now, you only get to see this password once, so as soon as we close it, it's not available again.
Okay so, back within visual code, we're going to create a new md file and I've got some sample code for API call. So, what we're going to do is, we're going to run curl. It's going to do a post and it's going to post to this REST API url. So, the main part of it... So, the first part of it, are the credentials and then we're posting to this url part here. So, it's going to api.bitbucket.org/2.0, for API version 2.0, repositories and then the BitBucket repo owner, BitBucket rep slug, in downloads. And we're going to upload Demo1.png, which is a file that I've added to our folder, so that's just an architectural diagram. Okay so, back to our command. We need to update these variables that will be passed into this command. So, the repository owner, in this case, is deepcube is deepcube360. The repository slug will be, we're going to upload into this repository, CADemo3, so the slug is this portion here.
And then finally, we need to copy in the app password that we previously generated. Okay. So, let's go and run this in the terminal. So, we'll do a directory listing. This is the file we're going to upload. So, having uploaded it, it will show up in the download section, 'cause at the moment, this is empty. So, back into the terminal, we'll set our variables and then finally, we'll take our curl command, which will invoke against the BitBucket REST 2.0 API. And execute. Okay, so that's completed. If we go back into downloads now, and we do a reload, you can see that our Demo1.png file has successfully been uploaded. So, there shows a quick demonstration of App Passwords together with making calls against the BitBucket REST for 2.0 API. Okay, go ahead and close this demo. And we'll see you in the next one.
