# Gitlab API
All API requests require authentication. You need to pass `private_token` parameter to authenticate.
To get or reset your token visit your profile.
If no or invalid `private_token` provided error message will be returned with status code 401:
```json
{
"message": "401 Unauthorized"
}
```
API requests should be prefixed with `api` and the API version.
API version is equal to Gitlab major version number and defined in `lib/api.rb`.
Example of valid API request:
```
GET http://example.com/api/v2/projects?private_token=QVy1PB7sTxfy4pqfZM1U
```
The API uses JSON to serialize data. You don't need to specify `.json` at the end of API URL.
