+# Builds API
+
+API used by runners to receive and update builds.
+
+>**Note:**
+This API is intended to be used only by Runners as their own
+communication channel. For the consumer API see the
+[Builds API](../builds.md).
+
+## Authentication
+
+This API uses two types of authentication:
+
+1. Unique Runner's token which is the token assigned to the Runner after it
+ has been registered.
+
+2. Using the build authorization token.
+ This is project's CI token that can be found under the **Builds** section of
+ a project's settings. The build authorization token can be passed as a
+ parameter or a value of `BUILD-TOKEN` header.
+
+These two methods of authentication are interchangeable.
+
+## Builds
+
+### Runs oldest pending build by runner
+
+```
+POST /ci/api/v1/builds/register
+```
+
+| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
+|-----------|---------|----------|---------------------|
+| `token` | string | yes | Unique runner token |
+
+
+```
+curl -X POST "https://gitlab.example.com/ci/api/v1/builds/register" -F "token=t0k3n"
+```
+
+### Update details of an existing build
+
+```
+PUT /ci/api/v1/builds/:id
+```
+
+| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
+|-----------|---------|----------|----------------------|
+| `id` | integer | yes | The ID of a project |
+| `token` | string | yes | Unique runner token |
+| `state` | string | no | The state of a build |
+| `trace` | string | no | The trace of a build |
+
+```
+curl -X PUT "https://gitlab.example.com/ci/api/v1/builds/1234" -F "token=t0k3n" -F "state=running" -F "trace=Running git clone...\n"
+```
+
+### Incremental build trace update
+
+Using this method you need to send trace content as a request body. You also need to provide the `Content-Range` header
+with a range of sent trace part. Note that you need to send parts in the proper order, so the begining of the part
+must start just after the end of the previous part. If you provide the wrong part, then GitLab CI API will return `416
+Range Not Satisfiable` response with a header `Range: 0-X`, where `X` is the current trace length.
+
+For example, if you receive `Range: 0-11` in the response, then your next part must contain a `Content-Range: 11-...`
+header and a trace part covered by this range.
+
+For a valid update API will return `202` response with:
+* `Build-Status: {status}` header containing current status of the build,
+* `Range: 0-{length}` header with the current trace length.
+
+```
