Container Registry API (FREE)
The use of
CI_JOB_TOKEN
scoped to the current project was introduced in GitLab 13.12.
This is the API documentation of the GitLab Container Registry.
When the ci_job_token_scope
feature flag is enabled (it is disabled by default), you can use the below endpoints
from a CI/CD job, by passing the $CI_JOB_TOKEN
variable as the JOB-TOKEN
header.
The job token will only have access to its own project.
GitLab administrators with access to the GitLab Rails console can opt to enable it.
To enable it:
Feature.enable(:ci_job_token_scope)
To disable it:
Feature.disable(:ci_job_token_scope)
Change the visibility of the Container Registry
Introduced in GitLab 14.2.
This controls who can view the Container Registry.
PUT /projects/:id/
Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
id |
integer/string | yes | The ID or URL-encoded path of the project accessible by the authenticated user. |
container_registry_access_level |
string | no | The desired visibility of the Container Registry. One of enabled (default), private , or disabled . |
Descriptions of the possible values for container_registry_access_level
:
-
enabled (Default): The Container Registry is visible to everyone with access to the project. If the project is public, the Container Registry is also public. If the project is internal or private, the Container Registry is also internal or private.
-
private: The Container Registry is visible only to project members with Reporter role or higher. This is similar to the behavior of a private project with Container Registry visibility set to enabled.
-
disabled: The Container Registry is disabled.
See the Container Registry visibility permissions for more details about the permissions that this setting grants to users.

Delete registry repository tags in bulk
Delete registry repository tags in bulk based on given criteria.
For an overview, see Use the Container Registry API to delete all tags except *.
DELETE /projects/:id/registry/repositories/:repository_id/tags
Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
id |
integer/string | yes | The ID or URL-encoded path of the project owned by the authenticated user. |
repository_id |
integer | yes | The ID of registry repository. |
name_regex |
string | no | The re2 regex of the name to delete. To delete all tags specify .* . Note: name_regex is deprecated in favor of name_regex_delete . This field is validated. |
name_regex_delete |
string | yes | The re2 regex of the name to delete. To delete all tags specify .* . This field is validated. |
name_regex_keep |
string | no | The re2 regex of the name to keep. This value overrides any matches from name_regex_delete . This field is validated. Note: setting to .* results in a no-op. |
keep_n |
integer | no | The amount of latest tags of given name to keep. |
older_than |
string | no | Tags to delete that are older than the given time, written in human readable form 1h , 1d , 1month . |
This API returns HTTP response status code 202 if successful, and performs the following operations:
- It orders all tags by creation date. The creation date is the time of the manifest creation, not the time of tag push.
- It removes only the tags matching the given
name_regex_delete
(or deprecatedname_regex
), keeping any that matchname_regex_keep
. - It never removes the tag named
latest
. - It keeps N latest matching tags (if
keep_n
is specified). - It only removes tags that are older than X amount of time (if
older_than
is specified). - It schedules the asynchronous job to be executed in the background.
These operations are executed asynchronously and can take time to get executed. You can run this at most once an hour for a given container repository. This action doesn't delete blobs. To delete them and recycle disk space, run the garbage collection.
WARNING: The number of tags deleted by this API is limited on GitLab.com because of the scale of the Container Registry there. If your Container Registry has a large number of tags to delete, only some of them will be deleted, and you might need to call this API multiple times. To schedule tags for automatic deletion, use a cleanup policy instead.
Examples:
-
Remove tag names that are matching the regex (Git SHA), keep always at least 5, and remove ones that are older than 2 days:
curl --request DELETE --data 'name_regex_delete=[0-9a-z]{40}' --data 'keep_n=5' --data 'older_than=2d' \ --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/registry/repositories/2/tags"
-
Remove all tags, but keep always the latest 5:
curl --request DELETE --data 'name_regex_delete=.*' --data 'keep_n=5' \ --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/registry/repositories/2/tags"
-
Remove all tags, but keep always tags beginning with
stable
:curl --request DELETE --data 'name_regex_delete=.*' --data 'name_regex_keep=stable.*' \ --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/registry/repositories/2/tags"
-
Remove all tags that are older than 1 month:
curl --request DELETE --data 'name_regex_delete=.*' --data 'older_than=1month' \ --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/registry/repositories/2/tags"
Instance-wide endpoints
Beside the group- and project-specific GitLab APIs explained above, the Container Registry has its own endpoints. To query those, follow the Registry's built-in mechanism to obtain and use an authentication token.
NOTE: These are different from project or personal access tokens in the GitLab application.
Listing all container repositories
GET /v2/_catalog
To list all container repositories on your GitLab instance, admin credentials are required:
$ curl --request GET --user "<admin-username>:<admin-password>" "https://gitlab.example.com/jwt/auth?service=container_registry&scope=registry:catalog:*"
{"token":" ... "}
$ curl --header "Authorization: Bearer <token_from_above>" https://gitlab.example.com:5050/v2/_catalog
