BitBucket get list of all contributors

Question

Is there a way using the BitBucket API to get a list of all commiters/contributors to a repository?

I know I can user git-shortlog for this purpose but would rather make an API call if possible.

No, we do not currently have that kind of data indexed, or available through the API.

If you want a fairly slow way, just clone the repo and compile it locally with something like:

$ git log --format="%ae" | sort | uniq -c

Then you can parse through the commits one-by-one for contributors

I have "solved" id by going over all commits and collecting authors ... it is not the fastest solution but it works. GitHub has a nice simple API call to solve this. – Romanov

Yep, that'll do it. If you're going to do that though, it'll be way faster to just clone the repo and compile it locally with something like: $ git log --format="%ae" | sort | uniq -c – Sordid

I know, but I would like to obtain some BitBucket specific info, like author id, etc. I went ahead an did this, I store the last commit id so next time I stop as soon as I find the same commit id. – Romanov

FWIW, you could still perform all this locally and use the API to resolve email addresses to Bitbucket accounts by hitting: api.bitbucket.org/2.0/users/[email protected] – Sordid
