# Internal API
The internal API is used by different GitLab components, it can not be
used by other consumers. This documentation is intended for people
working on the GitLab codebase.
2020-01-01 13:55:28 +05:30
This documentation does not yet include the internal API used by
GitLab Pages.
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
## Authentication
These methods are all authenticated using a shared secret. This secret
is stored in a file at the path configured in `config/gitlab.yml` by
default this is in the root of the rails app named
`.gitlab_shell_secret`
To authenticate using that token, clients read the contents of that
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
file, and include the token Base64 encoded in a `secret_token` parameter
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
or in the `Gitlab-Shared-Secret` header.
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
NOTE:
2020-11-24 15:15:51 +05:30
The internal API used by GitLab Pages, and GitLab Kubernetes Agent Server (kas) uses JSON Web Token (JWT)
authentication, which is different from GitLab Shell.
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
## Git Authentication
2020-10-24 23:57:45 +05:30
This is called by [Gitaly](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly) and
[GitLab Shell](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-shell) to check access to a
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
repository.
2020-10-24 23:57:45 +05:30
When called from GitLab Shell no changes are passed and the internal
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
API replies with the information needed to pass the request on to
Gitaly.
When called from Gitaly in a `pre-receive` hook the changes are passed
and those are validated to determine if the push is allowed.

## Kubernetes agent endpoints
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/41045) in GitLab 13.4.
> - This feature is not deployed on GitLab.com
> - It's not recommended for production use.
The following endpoints are used by the GitLab Kubernetes Agent Server (kas)
for various purposes.
These endpoints are all authenticated using JWT. The JWT secret is stored in a file
specified in `config/gitlab.yml`. By default, the location is in the root of the
GitLab Rails app in a file called `.gitlab_kas_secret`.
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
WARNING:
2020-11-24 15:15:51 +05:30
The Kubernetes agent is under development and is not recommended for production use.
### Kubernetes agent information
Called from GitLab Kubernetes Agent Server (kas) to retrieve agent
information for the given agent token. This returns the Gitaly connection
information for the agent's project in order for kas to fetch and update
the agent's configuration.
```plaintext
GET /internal/kubernetes/agent_info
```
Example Request:
```shell
curl --request GET --header "Gitlab-Kas-Api-Request: <JWT token>" --header "Authorization: Bearer <agent token>" "http://localhost:3000/api/v4/internal/kubernetes/agent_info"
```
### Kubernetes agent project information
Called from GitLab Kubernetes Agent Server (kas) to retrieve project
information for the given agent token. This returns the Gitaly
connection for the requested project. GitLab kas uses this to configure
the agent to fetch Kubernetes resources from the project repository to
sync.
Only public projects are currently supported. For private projects, the ability for the
agent to be authorized is [not yet implemented](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/220912).
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|:----------|:-------|:---------|:------------|
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](../api/README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) |
```plaintext
GET /internal/kubernetes/project_info
```
Example Request:
```shell
curl --request GET --header "Gitlab-Kas-Api-Request: <JWT token>" --header "Authorization: Bearer <agent token>" "http://localhost:3000/api/v4/internal/kubernetes/project_info?id=7"
```
### Kubernetes agent usage metrics
Called from GitLab Kubernetes Agent Server (kas) to increase the usage
metric counters.
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|:----------|:-------|:---------|:------------|
| `gitops_sync_count` | integer| yes | The number to increase the `gitops_sync_count` counter by |
```plaintext
POST /internal/kubernetes/usage_metrics
```
Example Request:
```shell
curl --request POST --header "Gitlab-Kas-Api-Request: <JWT token>" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"gitops_sync_count":1}' "http://localhost:3000/api/v4/internal/kubernetes/usage_metrics"
```
