# Runners API **(FREE)**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/2640) in GitLab 8.5.
## Registration and authentication tokens
There are two tokens to take into account when connecting a runner with GitLab.
| Token | Description |
| ----- | ----------- |
| Registration token | Token used to [register the runner](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/register/). It can be [obtained through GitLab](../ci/runners/index.md). |
| Authentication token | Token used to authenticate the runner with the GitLab instance. It is obtained automatically when you [register a runner](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/register/) or by the Runner API when you manually [register a runner](#register-a-new-runner) or [reset the authentication token](#reset-runners-authentication-token-by-using-the-runner-id). |
Here's an example of how the two tokens are used in runner registration:
1. You register the runner via the GitLab API using a registration token, and an
authentication token is returned.
1. You use that authentication token and add it to the
[runner's configuration file](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/commands/#configuration-file):
```toml
[[runners]]
token = "<authentication_token>"
```
GitLab and the runner are then connected.
## List owned runners
Get a list of specific runners available to the user.
```plaintext
GET /runners
GET /runners?scope=active
GET /runners?type=project_type
GET /runners?status=online
GET /runners?paused=true
GET /runners?tag_list=tag1,tag2
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|------------|--------------|----------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `scope` | string | no | Deprecated: Use `type` or `status` instead. The scope of specific runners to show, one of: `active`, `paused`, `online` and `offline`; showing all runners if none provided |
| `type` | string | no | The type of runners to show, one of: `instance_type`, `group_type`, `project_type` |
| `status` | string | no | The status of runners to show, one of: `online` and `offline`. `active` and `paused` are also possible values which were deprecated in GitLab 14.8 and will be removed in GitLab 16.0 |

| `tag_list` | string array | no | List of the runner's tags |
```shell
