Releases API (FREE)

Release Evidences were introduced in GitLab 12.5.

description_html became an opt-in field with GitLab 13.12 for performance reasons. Please pass the include_html_description query string parameter if you need it.

The permission model for create, update and delete actions was fixed in GitLab 14.1. See Release permissions for more information.

Use this API to manipulate GitLab Release entries. For manipulating links as a release asset, see Release Links API.

Authentication

For authentication, the Releases API accepts either:

A Personal Access Token using the PRIVATE-TOKEN header.
The GitLab CI/CD job token $CI_JOB_TOKEN using the JOB-TOKEN header.

Download a release asset

Introduced in GitLab 15.4.

Download a release asset file by making a request with the following format:

GET /projects/:id/releases/:tag_name/downloads/:direct_asset_path

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
`id`	integer/string	yes	The ID or URL-encoded path of the project.
`tag_name`	string	yes	The Git tag the release is associated with.
`filepath`	string	yes	Deprecated: Use `direct_asset_path` instead.
`direct_asset_path`	string	yes	Path to the release asset file as specified when creating or updating its link.

Example request:

curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/24/releases/v0.1/downloads/bin/asset.exe"

Get the latest release

Introduced in GitLab 15.4.

Latest release information is accessible through a permanent API URL.

The format of the URL is:

GET /projects/:id/releases/permalink/latest

To call any other GET API that requires a release tag, append a suffix to the permalink/latest API path.

For example, to get latest release evidence you can use:

GET /projects/:id/releases/permalink/latest/evidence

Another example is downloading an asset of the latest release, for which you can use:

GET /projects/:id/releases/permalink/latest/downloads/bin/asset.exe

Sorting preferences

By default, GitLab fetches the release using released_at time. The use of the query parameter ?order_by=released_at is optional, and support for ?order_by=semver is tracked in issue 352945.
