# Validate the .gitlab-ci.yml (API)
> [Introduced][ce-5953] in GitLab 8.12.
Checks if your .gitlab-ci.yml file is valid.
```
POST /lint
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| ---------- | ------- | -------- | -------- |
| `content` | string | yes | the .gitlab-ci.yaml content|
```bash
curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/ci/lint --data '{"content": "{ \"image\": \"ruby:2.6\", \"services\": [\"postgres\"], \"before_script\": [\"bundle install\", \"bundle exec rake db:create\"], \"variables\": {\"DB_NAME\": \"postgres\"}, \"types\": [\"test\", \"deploy\", \"notify\"], \"rspec\": { \"script\": \"rake spec\", \"tags\": [\"ruby\", \"postgres\"], \"only\": [\"branches\"]}}"}'
```
Be sure to copy paste the exact contents of `.gitlab-ci.yml` as YAML is very picky about indentation and spaces.
Example responses:
- Valid content:
```json
{
"status": "valid",
"errors": []
}
```
- Invalid content:
```json
{
"status": "invalid",
"errors": [
"variables config should be a hash of key value pairs"
]
}
```
- Without the content attribute:
```json
{
"error": "content is missing"
}
```
