    Hi @Surendar

    The Access tokens was not available for everyone in the organisation to create for the REST.

    There were only Access tokens available for SSH which will not work for REST API.

    So We created a service account and given the account the BitBucket access and used the it as Basic Authentication for accessing the bitbucket files.

    Thanks for the links 🙂

@robin, would it be safe to assume that this will work for generating html files from XML generator snap?

Yes, though I would consider it “XHTML” (an old term)

    Thanks @robin, I haven’t had a chance to test the solution you provided but I’m sure it would have worked.
    I went with a different route for my development so the concern I was having has been resolved.

    XML Generator does intake dynamic values if they have been binded properly prior to it (using Aggregate or Group By), the only challenge I found was ingesting native html tags because <a href ="$URL"> wasn’t generating the desired output as the tags gets converted to snapLogic’s predefined symbols like < = &lt;,so on and so forth. Check these links for detailed explanation on tags conversion:

    What I found and worked for me was defining the html format (if you’re trying to generate html files; could be any format you’re interested into) in the mapper itself/file writer and then let the format do its job.

    Thanking @robin for his suggestions, time and help on this. Signing off from this thread.
