Summary
This article provides detailed instructions on how to obtain a list of repositories associated with a specific plan in Bamboo Data Center using the REST API.
Environment
The solution has been validated in Bamboo Data Center 9.4 but may be applicable to other versions.
Solution
Bamboo currently lacks a dedicated REST API endpoint to directly retrieve only the repositories of a plan, as outlined in BAM-25891 - Getting issue details... STATUS . However, you can use an alternative REST endpoint to obtain this information.
To retrieve a list of repositories for a specific Bamboo plan, you can use the Get plan {projectKey}-{buildKey} specs API. Follow the instructions below using either Bash or PowerShell, depending on your environment:
curl -s -k -X GET -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Bearer <personal token>' "https://bamboo.mydomain.net/rest/api/latest/plan/PROJ-PLAN/specs?format=YAML" | jq -r '.spec.code' | yq e '.repositories[] | keys | .[]'(Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://bamboo.mydomain.net/rest/api/latest/plan/PROJ-PLAN/specs?format=YAML" -Headers @{ "Accept" = "application/json"; "Authorization" = "Bearer <personal token>" } -Method Get).spec.code | ConvertFrom-Yaml | ForEach-Object { $_.repositories | ForEach-Object { $_.PSObject.Properties.Name } }Replace <personal token> with your actual personal access tokens, and PROJ-PLAN with your specific project and plan keys.
The above commands assume you have the necessary tools (curl, jq, yq for Bash, or Invoke-RestMethod for PowerShell) installed and available in your PATH.
By following these steps, you can successfully retrieve a list of repositories associated with a specific Bamboo plan.
