GitLab API

All API requests require authentication. You need to pass a private_token parameter by url or header. You can find or reset your private token in your profile.

If no, or an invalid, private_token is provided then an error message will be returned with status code 401:

{
  "message": "401 Unauthorized"
}

API requests should be prefixed with api and the API version. The API version is defined in lib/api.rb.

Example of a valid API request:

GET http://example.com/api/v3/projects?private_token=QVy1PB7sTxfy4pqfZM1U

The API uses JSON to serialize data. You don't need to specify .json at the end of API URL.

Pagination

When listing resources you can pass the following parameters:

  • page (default: 1) - page number
  • per_page (default: 20, max: 100) - number of items to list per page
