--- stage: Plan group: Project Management info: To determine the technical writer assigned to the Stage/Group associated with this page, see https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/ux/technical-writing/#assignments --- # Projects API **(FREE)** Interact with [projects](../user/project/index.md) using the REST API. ## Project visibility level A project in GitLab can be private, internal, or public. The visibility level is determined by the `visibility` field in the project. Values for the project visibility level are: - `private`: project access must be granted explicitly for each user. - `internal`: the project can be cloned by any signed-in user except [external users](../user/permissions.md#external-users). - `public`: the project can be accessed without any authentication. For more, read [Project visibility](../user/public_access.md). ## Project merge method There are three options for `merge_method` to choose from: - `merge`: a merge commit is created for every merge, and merging is allowed if there are no conflicts. - `rebase_merge`: a merge commit is created for every merge, but merging is only allowed if fast-forward merge is possible. This way you could make sure that if this merge request would build, after merging to target branch it would also build. - `ff`: no merge commits are created and all merges are fast-forwarded, which means that merging is only allowed if the branch could be fast-forwarded. ## List all projects Get a list of all visible projects across GitLab for the authenticated user. When accessed without authentication, only public projects with _simple_ fields are returned. ```plaintext GET /projects ``` | Attribute | Type | Required | Description | |--------------------------------------------|----------|------------------------|-------------| | `archived` | boolean | **{dotted-circle}** No | Limit by archived status. | | `id_after` | integer | **{dotted-circle}** No | Limit results to projects with IDs greater than the specified ID. | | `id_before` | integer | **{dotted-circle}** No | Limit results to projects with IDs less than the specified ID. | | `imported` | boolean | **{dotted-circle}** No | Limit results to projects which were imported from external systems by current user. | | `last_activity_after` | datetime | **{dotted-circle}** No | Limit results to projects with last_activity after specified time.

When enabled, actual deletion happens after the number of days specified in the [default deletion delay](../user/admin_area/settings/visibility_and_access_controls.md#default-deletion-delay). WARNING: The default behavior of [Delayed Project deletion](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/32935) in GitLab 12.6 was changed to [Immediate deletion](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/220382) in GitLab 13.2, as discussed in [Enable delayed project deletion](../user/group/index.md#enable-delayed-project-deletion). ```plaintext DELETE /projects/:id ``` | Attribute | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|----------------|------------------------|-------------| | `id` | integer or string | **{check-circle}** Yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding). | ## Restore project marked for deletion **(PREMIUM)** > [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/32935) in GitLab 12.6.

GitLab versions 14.0 and later [enforce](#max-attachment-size-enforcement) this limit. ```plaintext POST /projects/:id/uploads ``` | Attribute | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|----------------|------------------------|-------------| | `file` | string | **{check-circle}** Yes | The file to be uploaded. | | `id` | integer or string | **{check-circle}** Yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding). | To upload a file from your file system, use the `--form` argument. This causes cURL to post data using the header `Content-Type: multipart/form-data`. The `file=` parameter must point to a file on your file system and be preceded by `@`. For example: ```shell curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: " \ --form "file=@dk.png" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/uploads" ``` Returned object: ```json { "alt": "dk", "url": "/uploads/66dbcd21ec5d24ed6ea225176098d52b/dk.png", "full_path": "/namespace1/project1/uploads/66dbcd21ec5d24ed6ea225176098d52b/dk.png", "markdown": "![dk](/uploads/66dbcd21ec5d24ed6ea225176098d52b/dk.png)" } ``` The returned `url` is relative to the project path. The returned `full_path` is the absolute path to the file. In Markdown contexts, the link is expanded when the format in `markdown` is used. ### Max attachment size enforcement > [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/57250) in GitLab 13.11. GitLab 13.11 added enforcement of the [maximum attachment size limit](../user/admin_area/settings/account_and_limit_settings.md#max-attachment-size) behind the `enforce_max_attachment_size_upload_api` feature flag. GitLab 14.0 enables this by default. To disable this enforcement: **In Omnibus installations:** 1. Enter the Rails console: ```shell sudo gitlab-rails console ``` 1. Disable the feature flag: ```ruby Feature.disable(:enforce_max_attachment_size_upload_api) ``` **In installations from source:** 1. Enter the Rails console: ```shell cd /home/git/gitlab sudo -u git -H bundle exec rails console -e production ``` 1. Disable the feature flag: ```ruby Feature.disable(:enforce_max_attachment_size_upload_api) ``` ## Upload a project avatar Uploads an avatar to the specified project. ```plaintext PUT /projects/:id ``` | Attribute | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|----------------|------------------------|-------------| | `avatar` | string | **{check-circle}** Yes | The file to be uploaded. | | `id` | integer or string | **{check-circle}** Yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding). | To upload an avatar from your file system, use the `--form` argument.
