# Releases API **(FREE)**
> - 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.
Use this API to manipulate GitLab [Release](../../user/project/releases/index.md)
entries. For manipulating links as a release asset, see [Release Links API](links.md).
## 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](../../ci/jobs/ci_job_token.md) `$CI_JOB_TOKEN` using
the `JOB-TOKEN` header.
## List Releases
> [Changed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/72448) to allow for `JOB-TOKEN` in GitLab 14.5.
Paginated list of Releases, sorted by `released_at`.

### Group milestones **(PREMIUM SELF)**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/235391) in GitLab 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.
## Collect release evidence **(PREMIUM SELF)**

## Delete a Release
> [Changed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/72448) to allow for `JOB-TOKEN` in GitLab 14.5.
Delete a release. Deleting a release doesn't delete the associated tag. Maintainer level access to the project is required to delete a release.
```plaintext
DELETE /projects/:id/releases/:tag_name
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| ------------- | -------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](../index.md#namespaced-path-encoding). |
| `tag_name` | string | yes | The Git tag the release is associated with. |
Example request:
```shell
curl --request DELETE --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/24/releases/v0.1"
```
Example response:
```json
{
"tag_name":"v0.1",
"description":"## CHANGELOG\r\n\r\n- Remove limit of 100 when searching repository code. !8671\r\n- Show error message when attempting to reopen an MR and there is an open MR for the same branch. !16447 (Akos Gyimesi)\r\n- Fix a bug where internal email pattern wasn't respected. !22516",

## Upcoming Releases
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/38105) in GitLab 12.1.
A release with a `released_at` attribute set to a future date is labeled
as an **Upcoming Release** [in the UI](../../user/project/releases/index.md#upcoming-releases).
Additionally, if a [release is requested from the API](#list-releases), for each release with a `release_at` attribute set to a future date, an additional attribute `upcoming_release` (set to true) will be returned as part of the response.
