This is the API documentation for [Maven Packages ](../../user/packages/maven_repository/index.md ).
WARNING:
This API is used by the [Maven package manager client ](https://maven.apache.org/ )
and is generally not meant for manual consumption.
For instructions on how to upload and install Maven packages from the GitLab
package registry, see the [Maven package registry documentation ](../../user/packages/maven_repository/index.md ).
NOTE:
These endpoints do not adhere to the standard API authentication methods.
See [Maven package registry documentation ](../../user/packages/maven_repository/index.md )
for details on which headers and token types are supported.
