Groups API (FREE)

List groups

Get a list of visible groups for the authenticated user. When accessed without authentication, only public groups are returned.

By default, this request returns 20 results at a time because the API results are paginated.

When accessed without authentication, this endpoint also supports keyset pagination:

When requesting consecutive pages of results, we recommend you use keyset pagination.
Beyond a specific offset limit (specified by max offset allowed by the REST API for offset-based pagination), offset pagination is unavailable.

Parameters:

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
`skip_groups`	array of integers	no	Skip the group IDs passed
`all_available`	boolean	no	Show all the groups you have access to (defaults to `false` for authenticated users, `true` for administrators); Attributes `owned` and `min_access_level` have precedence
`search`	string	no	Return the list of authorized groups matching the search criteria
`order_by`	string	no	Order groups by `name`, `path`, `id`, or `similarity` (if searching, introduced in GitLab 14.1). Default is `name`
`sort`	string	no	Order groups in `asc` or `desc` order. Default is `asc`
`statistics`	boolean	no	Include group statistics (administrators only)
`with_custom_attributes`	boolean	no	Include custom attributes in response (administrators only)
`owned`	boolean	no	Limit to groups explicitly owned by the current user
`min_access_level`	integer	no	Limit to groups where current user has at least this role (`access_level`)
`top_level_only`	boolean	no	Limit to top level groups, excluding all subgroups

Details of a group

The membership_lock field was introduced in GitLab 14.10.

Get all details of a group. This endpoint can be accessed without authentication if the group is publicly accessible. In case the user that requests is an administrator if the group is publicly accessible. With authentication, it returns the runners_token for the group too, if the user is an administrator or group owner.

GET /groups/:id

Parameters:

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
`id`	integer/string	yes	The ID or URL-encoded path of the group owned by the authenticated user.
`with_custom_attributes`	boolean	no	Include custom attributes in response (administrators only).
`with_projects`	boolean	no	Include details from projects that belong to the specified group (defaults to `true`). (Deprecated, scheduled for removal in API v5. To get the details of all projects within a group, use the list a group's projects endpoint.)

NOTE: The projects and shared_projects attributes in the response are deprecated and scheduled for removal in API v5. To get the details of all projects within a group, use either the list a group's projects or the list a group's shared projects endpoint.

curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/4"

NOTE: There is a known issue that can prevent runners_token from being returned when the call has the with_projects=false parameter.

This endpoint returns:

All projects and shared projects in GitLab 12.5 and earlier.
A maximum of 100 projects and shared projects in GitLab 12.6 and later. To get the details of all projects within a group, use the list a group's projects endpoint instead.
