Internal API

The internal API is used by different GitLab components, it cannot be used by other consumers. This documentation is intended for people working on the GitLab codebase.

This documentation does not yet include the internal API used by GitLab Pages.

Adding new endpoints

API endpoints should be externally accessible by default, with proper authentication and authorization. Before adding a new internal endpoint, consider if the API would potentially be useful to the wider GitLab community and can be made externally accessible.

One reason we might favor internal API endpoints sometimes is when using such an endpoint requires internal data that external actors cannot have. For example, in the internal Pages API we might use a secret token that identifies a request as internal or sign a request with a public key that is not available to a wider community.

Another reason to separate something into an internal API is when request to such API endpoint should never go through an edge (public) load balancer. This way we can configure different rate limiting rules and policies around how the endpoint is being accessed, because we know that only internal requests can be made to that endpoint going through an internal load balancer.

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:

  1. Read the contents of that file.
  2. Use the file contents to generate a JSON Web Token (JWT).
  3. Pass the JWT in the Gitlab-Shell-Api-Request header.

Git Authentication

This is called by Gitaly and GitLab Shell to check access to a repository.

  • When called from GitLab Shell: No changes are passed, and the internal 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 validated to determine if the push is allowed.

Calls are limited to 50 seconds each.

This endpoint is covered in more detail on its own page, due to the scope of what it covers.

Group SCIM API (PREMIUM SAAS)

Introduced in GitLab 11.10.

The group SCIM API implements the RFC7644 protocol. As this API is for system use for SCIM provider integration, it is subject to change without notice.

To use this API, enable Group SSO for the group. This API is only in use where SCIM for Group SSO is enabled. It's a prerequisite to the creation of SCIM identities.

This API is different to the main SCIM API and the instance SCIM API.

Get a list of SCIM provisioned users

This endpoint is used as part of the SCIM syncing mechanism. It only returns a single user based on a unique ID which should match the extern_uid of the user.

GET /api/scim/v2/groups/:group_path/Users

Parameters:

Attribute Type Required Description
filter string no A filter expression.
group_path string yes Full path to the group.
startIndex integer no The 1-based index indicating where to start returning results from. A value of less than one is interpreted as 1.
count integer no Desired maximum number of query results.
