# Releases API

> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/41766) in GitLab 11.7.
> - Using this API you can manipulate GitLab [Release](../../user/project/releases/index.md) entries.
> - For manipulating links as a release asset, see [Release Links API](links.md).
> - Release Evidences were [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/26019) in GitLab 12.5.
> - `description_html` became an opt-in field [with GitLab 13.12 for performance reasons](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/299447).
    Please pass the `include_html_description` query string parameter if you need it.
> - [The permission model for create, update and delete actions was fixed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/327505) in GitLab 14.1.
    See [Release permissions](../../user/project/releases/index.md#release-permissions) for more information.

## Authentication

For authentication, the Releases API accepts either:

- A [Personal Access Token](../../user/profile/personal_access_tokens.md) using the
  `PRIVATE-TOKEN` header.
- The [GitLab CI/CD job token](../index.md#gitlab-cicd-job-token) `$CI_JOB_TOKEN` using
  the `JOB-TOKEN` header.

## List Releases

Paginated list of Releases, sorted by `released_at`.

```plaintext
GET /projects/:id/releases
```

| Attribute     | Type           | Required | Description                                                                         |
| ------------- | -------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `id`          | integer/string | yes      | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](../index.md#namespaced-path-encoding). |
| `order_by`    | string         | no       | The field to use as order. Either `released_at` (default) or `created_at`. |
| `sort`        | string         | no       | The direction of the order. Either `desc` (default) for descending order or `asc` for ascending order. |
| `include_html_description` | boolean        | no       | If `true`, a response includes HTML rendered Markdown of the release description.   |

Example request:

```shell
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/24/releases"
```

### Group milestones **(PREMIUM SELF)**

> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/235391) in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 13.5.

Group milestones associated with the project may be specified in the `milestones`
array for [Create a release](#create-a-release) and [Update a release](#update-a-release)
API calls. Only milestones associated with the project's group may be specified, and
adding milestones for ancestor groups raises an error.
