GitLab provides a robust REST API to automate workflows, manage resources, and integrate with external systems. Here's how you can create an API call in GitLab.
Steps to Make an API Call
Set Up Authentication Obtain a Personal Access Token (PAT) from your GitLab account under Settings > Access Tokens. Use the token in the PRIVATE-TOKEN header for authentication.
Construct the API Request All API requests start with the base URL: https://<gitlab-instance>/api/v4 For example, to list all projects: curl --request GET \ --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" \ "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects"
Send Data with POST Requests To create a new project, use a POST request with JSON payload: curl --request POST \ --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" \ --header "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data '{"name": "example-project", "description": "Sample description"}' \ "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects"
