Projects API

Project visibility level

Project in GitLab can be either private, internal or public. This is determined by the visibility field in the project.

Values for the project visibility level are:

  • private: Project access must be granted explicitly for each user.
  • internal: The project can be cloned by any logged in user.
  • public: The project can be accessed without any authentication.

Project merge method

There are three options for merge_method to choose from:

  • merge: A merge commit is created for every merge, and merging is allowed as long as there are no conflicts.
  • rebase_merge: A merge commit is created for every merge, but merging is only allowed if fast-forward merge is possible. This way you could make sure that if this merge request would build, after merging to target branch it would also build.
  • ff: No merge commits are created and all merges are fast-forwarded, which means that merging is only allowed if the branch could be fast-forwarded.

List all projects

Get a list of all visible projects across GitLab for the authenticated user. When accessed without authentication, only public projects with "simple" fields are returned.

When simple=true or the user is unauthenticated this returns something like:

NOTE: Note: For users on GitLab Silver, Premium, or higher the marked_for_deletion_at attribute has been deprecated and will be removed in API v5 in favor of the marked_for_deletion_on attribute.

Users on GitLab Starter, Bronze, or higher can also see the approvals_before_merge parameter:

[
  {
    "id": 4,
    "description": null,
    "approvals_before_merge": 0,
    ...
  }
]

You can filter by custom attributes with:

GET /projects?custom_attributes[key]=value&custom_attributes[other_key]=other_value

Pagination limits

In GitLab 13.0 and later, offset-based pagination is limited to 50,000 records. Keyset pagination is required to retrieve projects beyond this limit.

Note that keyset pagination only supports order_by=id. Other sorting options are not available.

  • From GitLab 13.2 on Premium or Silver or higher tiers, group admins can configure projects within a group to be deleted after a delayed period. When enabled, actual deletion happens after the number of days specified in the default deletion delay.

CAUTION: Warning: The default behavior of Delayed Project deletion in GitLab 12.6 was changed to Immediate deletion in GitLab 13.2, as discussed in Enabling delayed project removal.

DELETE /projects/:id
Attribute Type Required Description
id integer/string yes The ID or URL-encoded path of the project

POST /projects/:id/uploads
Attribute Type Required Description

To upload a file from your file system, use the --form argument. This causes cURL to post data using the header Content-Type: multipart/form-data. The file= parameter must point to a file on your file system and be preceded by @. For example:

curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" --form "file=@dk.png" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/uploads"

Returned object:

{
  "alt": "dk",
  "url": "/uploads/66dbcd21ec5d24ed6ea225176098d52b/dk.png",
  "full_path": "/namespace1/project1/uploads/66dbcd21ec5d24ed6ea225176098d52b/dk.png",
  "markdown": "![dk](/uploads/66dbcd21ec5d24ed6ea225176098d52b/dk.png)"
