npm API (FREE)

This is the API documentation for npm Packages.

WARNING: This API is used by the npm package manager client and is not meant for manual consumption.

For instructions on how to upload and install npm packages from the GitLab package registry, see the npm package registry documentation.

NOTE: These endpoints do not adhere to the standard API authentication methods. See the npm package registry documentation for details on which headers and token types are supported.

Download a package

Downloads the npm package. This URL is provided by the metadata endpoint.

GET projects/:id/packages/npm/:package_name/-/:file_name
Attribute Type Required Description
id string yes The ID or full path of the project.
package_name string yes The name of the package.
file_name string yes The name of the package file. 
curl --header "Authorization: Bearer <personal_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/packages/npm/@myscope/my-pkg/-/@my-scope/my-pkg-0.0.1.tgz"

Write the output to a file:

curl --header "Authorization: Bearer <personal_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/packages/npm/@myscope/my-pkg/-/@my-scope/my-pkg-0.0.1.tgz" >> @myscope/my-pkg-0.0.1.tgz

This writes the downloaded file to @myscope/my-pkg-0.0.1.tgz in the current directory.

Upload a package file

Upload a package.

PUT projects/:id/packages/npm/:package_name
Attribute Type Required Description
id string yes The ID or full path of the project.
package_name string yes The name of the package.
versions string yes Package version information. 
curl --request PUT
     --header "Content-Type: application/json"
     --data @./path/to/metadata/file.json
     --header "Authorization: Bearer <personal_access_token>" \
     "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/packages/npm/@myscope/my-pkg"

The metadata file content is generated by npm, but looks something like this:

}

Route prefix

For the remaining routes, there are two sets of identical routes that each make requests in different scopes:

  • Use the instance-level prefix to make requests in the scope of the entire instance.
  • Use the project-level prefix to make requests in a single project's scope.

The examples in this document all use the project-level prefix.

Instance-level

 /packages/npm`
Attribute Type Required Description
id string yes The group ID or full group path.

Project-level

 /projects/:id/packages/npm`
Attribute Type Required Description
id string yes The project ID or full project path.

Metadata

Returns the metadata for a given package.

GET <route-prefix>/:package_name
Attribute Type Required Description
package_name string yes The name of the package. 
curl --header "Authorization: Bearer <personal_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/packages/npm/@myscope/my-pkg"

Example response:

{
  "name": "@myscope/my-pkg",
  "versions": {
    "0.0.2": {
      "name": "@myscope/my-pkg",
      "version": "0.0.1",
      "dist": {
        "shasum": "93abb605b1110c0e3cca0a5b805e5cb01ac4ca9b",
        "tarball": "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/packages/npm/@myscope/my-pkg/-/@myscope/my-pkg-0.0.1.tgz"
      }
    }
  },
  "dist-tags": {
    "latest": "0.0.1"
  }
}

The URLs in the response have the same route prefix used to request them. If you request them with the instance-level route, the returned URLs contain /api/v4/packages/npm.

Dist-Tags

Introduced in GitLab 12.7.

Lists the dist-tags for the package.

GET <route-prefix>/-/package/:package_name/dist-tags
Attribute Type Required Description
package_name string yes The name of the package. 
curl --header "Authorization: Bearer <personal_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/packages/npm/-/package/@myscope/my-pkg/dist-tags"

Example response:

{
  "latest": "2.1.1",
  "stable": "1.0.0"
}

The URLs in the response have the same route prefix used to request them. If you request them with the instance-level route, the returned URLs contain /api/v4/packages/npm.
