# Project snippets ### Snippet visibility level Snippets in GitLab can be either private, internal or public. You can set it with the `visibility` field in the snippet. Constants for snippet visibility levels are: | visibility | Description | | ---------- | ----------- | | `private` | The snippet is visible only the snippet creator | | `internal` | The snippet is visible for any logged in user | | `public` | The snippet can be accessed without any authentication | ## List snippets Get a list of project snippets. ``` GET /projects/:id/snippets ``` Parameters: - `id` (required) - The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user ## Single snippet Get a single project snippet. ``` GET /projects/:id/snippets/:snippet_id ``` Parameters: - `id` (required) - The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user - `snippet_id` (required) - The ID of a project's snippet ```json { "id": 1, "title": "test", "file_name": "add.rb", "description": "Ruby test snippet", "author": { "id": 1, "username": "john_smith", "email": "john@example.com", "name": "John Smith", "state": "active", "created_at": "2012-05-23T08:00:58Z" }, "updated_at": "2012-06-28T10:52:04Z", "created_at": "2012-06-28T10:52:04Z", "web_url": "http://example.com/example/example/snippets/1" } ``` ## Create new snippet Creates a new project snippet. The user must have permission to create new snippets. ``` POST /projects/:id/snippets ``` Parameters: - `id` (required) - The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user - `title` (required) - The title of a snippet - `file_name` (required) - The name of a snippet file - `description` (optional) - The description of a snippet - `code` (required) - The content of a snippet - `visibility` (required) - The snippet's visibility ## Update snippet Updates an existing project snippet. The user must have permission to change an existing snippet. ``` PUT /projects/:id/snippets/:snippet_id ``` Parameters: - `id` (required) - The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user - `snippet_id` (required) - The ID of a project's snippet - `title` (optional) - The title of a snippet - `file_name` (optional) - The name of a snippet file - `description` (optional) - The description of a snippet - `code` (optional) - The content of a snippet - `visibility` (optional) - The snippet's visibility ## Delete snippet Deletes an existing project snippet. This is an idempotent function and deleting a non-existent snippet still returns a `200 OK` status code. ``` DELETE /projects/:id/snippets/:snippet_id ``` Parameters: - `id` (required) - The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user - `snippet_id` (required) - The ID of a project's snippet ## Snippet content Returns the raw project snippet as plain text. ``` GET /projects/:id/snippets/:snippet_id/raw ``` Parameters: - `id` (required) - The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user - `snippet_id` (required) - The ID of a project's snippet ## Get user agent details > **Notes:** > [Introduced][ce-29508] in GitLab 9.4. Available only for admins. ``` GET /projects/:id/snippets/:snippet_id/user_agent_detail ``` | Attribute | Type | Required | Description | |-------------|---------|----------|--------------------------------------| | `id` | Integer | yes | The ID of a snippet | ```bash curl --request GET --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: 9koXpg98eAheJpvBs5tK" https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/snippets/1/user_agent_detail ``` Example response: ```json { "user_agent": "AppleWebKit/537.36", "ip_address": "127.0.0.1", "akismet_submitted": false } ``` [ce-[ce-29508]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/29508]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/29508
