## Configuring Bitbucket access token <a href="#configuring-bitbucket-access-token" id="configuring-bitbucket-access-token"></a>

1. Log in to Bitbucket and open your account or personal settings.
2. Find the section for API tokens or security settings.
3. Create a new API token, giving it a name and expiry date that matches your use case.
4. Select Bitbucket as the app, then choose the required scopes (permissions):

   ```bash
   read:user:bitbucket
   read:workspace:bitbucket
   read:repository:bitbucket
   read:webhook:bitbucket
   write:webhook:bitbucket
   delete:webhook:bitbucket
   ```
5. Review and create the token. Copy the generated token and add it to n8n. Bitbucket only shows the token once.
