Passing BitBucket server credentials when using Ansible get_url

Question

I am trying to write an ansible script to download files ( shell scripts ) from local bitbucket server.

Currently the code is as below. It asks for id and pw input and when I printed it, it prints a correct output.

But the get_url call returns an html page. The Id / pw entered does have access to the BB repo in question.

Is below not the correct way to pass credentials to bitbucket repo?

- name: Deployment of infrastructure changes
  hosts: kafka_broker[0]
  vars:
    ansible_ssh_extra_args: "-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no"
    ansible_host_key_checking: false
    date: "{{ lookup('pipe', 'date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S') }}"

  vars_prompt:
    - name: bb_username
      prompt: "User name for Bitbucket"
      private: no

    - name: bb_password
      prompt: "Password for "
      private: yes


  tasks:

    - name: Download connector scripts
      get_url:
        url: "http://bbserver:7990/projects/myproject/repos/myrepo/browse/scripts/{{ item }}"
        dest:  /var/scripts
        url_username: '{{ bb_username }}'
        url_password: '{{ bb_password }}'
      with_items:
        - script1.sh
        - script2.sh
        - script3.sh
      register: showdlstatus
      become: yes
      become_user: '{{ bb_username }}'

How should I modify the above script to download files from BitBucket>

Thank you

Adding force_basic_auth: yes to the script resolved the issue

tasks:

- name: Download connector scripts
  get_url:
    url: "http://bbserver:7990/projects/myproject/repos/myrepo/raw/scripts/{{ item }}"
    dest:  /var/scripts
    url_username: '{{ bb_username }}'
    url_password: '{{ bb_password }}'
    **force_basic_auth: yes**
  with_items:
    - script1.sh
    - script2.sh
    - script3.sh
