# Protected branches API
>**Note:** This feature was introduced in GitLab 9.5
**Valid access levels**
The access levels are defined in the `ProtectedRefAccess.allowed_access_levels` method. Currently, these levels are recognized:
```
0 => No access
30 => Developer access
40 => Maintainer access
60 => Admin access
```
## List protected branches
Gets a list of protected branches from a project.
```
GET /projects/:id/protected_branches
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user |
```bash
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" 'https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/protected_branches'
```
Example response:
```json
[
{
"name": "master",
"push_access_levels": [
{
"access_level": 40,
"access_level_description": "Maintainers"
}
],
"merge_access_levels": [
{
"access_level": 40,
"access_level_description": "Maintainers"
}
]
},
...
]
```
Users on GitLab [Starter, Bronze, or higher](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) will also see
the `user_id` and `group_id` parameters:
Example response:
```json
[
{
"name": "master",
"push_access_levels": [
{
"access_level": 40,
"user_id": null,
"group_id": null,
"access_level_description": "Maintainers"
}
],
"merge_access_levels": [
{
"access_level": null,
"user_id": null,
"group_id": 1234,
"access_level_description": "Example Merge Group"
}
]
},
...
]
```
## Get a single protected branch or wildcard protected branch

### Example with user / group level access **(STARTER)**
Elements in the `allowed_to_push` / `allowed_to_merge` / `allowed_to_unprotect` array should take the
form `{user_id: integer}`, `{group_id: integer}` or `{access_level: integer}`. Each user must have access to the project and each group must [have this project shared](../user/project/members/share_project_with_groups.md). These access levels allow [more granular control over protected branch access](../user/project/protected_branches.md#restricting-push-and-merge-access-to-certain-users-starter) and were [added to the API in](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/3516) in GitLab 10.3 EE.
```bash
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" 'https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/protected_branches?name=*-stable&allowed_to_push%5B%5D%5Buser_id%5D=1'
```
Example response:
```json
{
"name": "*-stable",
"push_access_levels": [
{
"access_level": null,
"user_id": 1,
"group_id": null,
"access_level_description": "Administrator"
}
],
"merge_access_levels": [
{
"access_level": 40,
"user_id": null,
"group_id": null,
"access_level_description": "Maintainers"
}
],
"unprotect_access_levels": [
{
"access_level": 40,
"user_id": null,
"group_id": null,
"access_level_description": "Maintainers"
}
]
}
```
## Unprotect repository branches

curl --request DELETE --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" 'https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/protected_branches/*-stable'
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user |
