Runners API (FREE)

Introduced in GitLab 8.5.

Registration and authentication tokens

There are two tokens to take into account when connecting a runner with GitLab.

Token Description
Registration token Token used to register the runner. It can be obtained through GitLab.
Authentication token Token used to authenticate the runner with the GitLab instance. It is obtained automatically when you register a runner or by the Runner API when you manually register a runner or reset the authentication token.

Here's an example of how the two tokens are used in runner registration:

  1. You register the runner via the GitLab API using a registration token, and an authentication token is returned.

  2. You use that authentication token and add it to the runner's configuration file:

    [[runners]]
  token = "<authentication_token>"

GitLab and the runner are then connected.
