Problem Definition

Currently, the Bitbucket Cloud Migration Assistant does not have any public REST API endpoints to create plans. Additionally, the connection to a Bitbucket Cloud workspace must be renewed periodically following How to renew authentication token for the Bitbucket Cloud Migration Assistant app (BCMA).

Suggested Solution

Create a public REST API endpoint for the Bitbucket Cloud Migration Assistant, so migrating Bitbucket administrators can renew the Bitbucket Cloud authentication token.

Ideally the scope of permissions should be as narrow as possible, to allow systems to renew the authentication token (separate administrator privilege), and use an ssh token, not basic authentication.

Similarly on the Bitbucket Cloud side, we ideally want to have a token with a narrow, specialised scope to be involved into the authentication process.
