# Projects API **(FREE)**

Interact with [projects](../user/project/index.md) using the REST API.

## Project visibility level

A project in GitLab can be private, internal, or public.
The visibility level is determined by the `visibility` field in the project.

Values for the project visibility level are:

- `private`: project access must be granted explicitly to each user.
- `internal`: the project can be cloned by any signed-in user except [external users](../user/admin_area/external_users.md).
- `public`: the project can be accessed without any authentication.

For more, read [Project visibility](../user/public_access.md).

## 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 if
  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. You can make sure that the target
  branch would build after this merge request builds and merges.
- `ff`: no merge commits are created and all merges are fast-forwarded. Merging
  is only allowed if the branch could be fast-forwarded.

## List all projects

> The `_links.cluster_agents` attribute in the response was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/347047) in GitLab 15.0.

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.

NOTE:
The `tag_list` attribute has been deprecated
and is removed in API v5 in favor of the `topics` attribute.

NOTE:
For users of [GitLab Premium or higher](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/),
the `marked_for_deletion_at` attribute has been deprecated, and is removed
in API v5 in favor of the `marked_for_deletion_on` attribute.

Users of [GitLab Premium or higher](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/)
can also see the `approvals_before_merge` parameter:

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

You can filter by [custom attributes](custom_attributes.md) with:

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

Example request:

```shell
curl --globoff --request GET "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects?custom_attributes[location]=Antarctica&custom_attributes[role]=Developer"
```

### Pagination limits

In GitLab 13.0 and later, [offset-based pagination](index.md#offset-based-pagination)
is [limited to 50,000 records](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/34565).
[Keyset pagination](index.md#keyset-based-pagination) is required to retrieve
projects beyond this limit.

Keyset pagination supports only `order_by=id`. Other sorting options aren't available.

## List user projects

> The `_links.cluster_agents` attribute in the response [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/347047) in GitLab 14.10.

Get a list of visible projects owned by the given user. When accessed without
authentication, only public projects are returned.

NOTE:
Only the projects in the user's (specified in `user_id`) namespace are returned. Projects owned by the user in any group or subgroups are not returned. An empty list is returned if a profile is set to private.

This endpoint supports [keyset pagination](index.md#keyset-based-pagination)
for selected `order_by` options.

```plaintext
GET /users/:user_id/projects
```

NOTE:
The `tag_list` attribute has been deprecated
and is removed in API v5 in favor of the `topics` attribute.

Users of [GitLab Premium or higher](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/)
can also see the `approvals_before_merge` parameter:

```json
{
  "id": 3,
  "description": null,
  "approvals_before_merge": 0,
  ...
}
```

Users of [GitLab Ultimate](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/)
can also see the `only_allow_merge_if_all_status_checks_passed`
parameters using GitLab 15.5 and later:

```json
{
  "id": 1,
  "project_id": 3,
  "only_allow_merge_if_all_status_checks_passed": false,
  ...
}
```

If the project is a fork, the `forked_from_project` field appears in the response.
For this field, if the upstream project is private, a valid token for authentication must be provided.
The field `mr_default_target_self` appears as well. If this value is `false`, then all merge requests
will target the upstream project by default.

## Delete project

This endpoint:

- Deletes a project including all associated resources (including issues and
  merge requests).
- In [GitLab 12.6](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/32935) and later, on
  [Premium or higher](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) tiers,
  [delayed project deletion](../user/project/settings/index.md#delayed-project-deletion)
  is applied if enabled.
- From [GitLab 13.2](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/220382) on
  [Premium or higher](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) tiers, group
  administrators can [configure](../user/group/manage.md#enable-delayed-project-deletion)
  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](../user/admin_area/settings/visibility_and_access_controls.md#deletion-protection).

WARNING:
The default behavior of [Delayed Project deletion](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/32935)
in GitLab 12.6 was changed to [Immediate deletion](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/220382)
in GitLab 13.2, as discussed in [Enable delayed project deletion](../user/group/manage.md#enable-delayed-project-deletion).

```plaintext
DELETE /projects/:id
```

| Attribute | Type           | Required               | Description |
|-----------|----------------|------------------------|-------------|
| `id`      | integer or string | **{check-circle}** Yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding). |

## Restore project marked for deletion **(PREMIUM)**

> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/32935) in GitLab 12.6.

Restores project marked for deletion.

```plaintext
POST /projects/:id/restore
```

| Attribute | Type           | Required               | Description |
|-----------|----------------|------------------------|-------------|
| `id`      | integer or string | **{check-circle}** Yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding). |

## Upload a file

Uploads a file to the specified project to be used in an issue or merge request
description, or a comment. GitLab versions 14.0 and later
[enforce](#max-attachment-size-enforcement) this limit.

```plaintext
POST /projects/:id/uploads
```

| Attribute | Type           | Required               | Description |
|-----------|----------------|------------------------|-------------|
| `file`    | string         | **{check-circle}** Yes | The file to be uploaded. |
| `id`      | integer or string | **{check-circle}** Yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding). |

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:

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

Returned object:

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

The returned `url` is relative to the project path. The returned `full_path` is
the absolute path to the file. In Markdown contexts, the link is expanded when
the format in `markdown` is used.

### Max attachment size enforcement

> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/57250) in GitLab 13.11.

GitLab 13.11 added enforcement of the [maximum attachment size limit](../user/admin_area/settings/account_and_limit_settings.md#max-attachment-size) behind the `enforce_max_attachment_size_upload_api` feature flag. GitLab 14.0 enables this by default.
To disable this enforcement:

**In Omnibus installations:**

1. Enter the Rails console:

   ```shell
   sudo gitlab-rails console
   ```

1. Disable the feature flag:

   ```ruby
   Feature.disable(:enforce_max_attachment_size_upload_api)
   ```

**In installations from source:**

1. Enter the Rails console:

   ```shell
   cd /home/git/gitlab
   sudo -u git -H bundle exec rails console -e production
   ```

1. Disable the feature flag:

   ```ruby
   Feature.disable(:enforce_max_attachment_size_upload_api)
   ```

## Upload a project avatar

Uploads an avatar to the specified project.

```plaintext
PUT /projects/:id
```

| Attribute | Type           | Required               | Description |
|-----------|----------------|------------------------|-------------|
| `avatar`  | string         | **{check-circle}** Yes | The file to be uploaded. |
| `id`      | integer or string | **{check-circle}** Yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding). |

To upload an avatar 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 an image file on your file system and be
preceded by `@`. For example:

Example request:

```shell
curl --request PUT --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" \
     --form "avatar=@dk.png" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5"
```

Returned object:

```json
{
  "avatar_url": "https://gitlab.example.com/uploads/-/system/project/avatar/2/dk.png"
}
```

## Remove a project avatar

> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/92604) in GitLab 15.4.

To remove a project avatar, use a blank value for the `avatar` attribute.

Example request:

```shell
curl --request PUT --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" \
     --data "avatar=" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5"
```

## Configure pull mirroring for a project **(PREMIUM)**

> Moved to GitLab Premium in 13.9.

Configure pull mirroring while [creating a new project](#create-project)
or [updating an existing project](#edit-project) using the API
if the remote repository is publicly accessible
or via `username:token` authentication.
In case your HTTP repository is not publicly accessible,
you can add the authentication information to the URL:
`https://username:token@gitlab.company.com/group/project.git`,
where `token` is a [personal access token](../user/profile/personal_access_tokens.md)
with the API scope enabled.
