# Conan API **(FREE)**

This is the API documentation for [Conan Packages](../../user/packages/conan_repository/index.md).

WARNING:
This API is used by the [Conan package manager client](https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/)
and is generally not meant for manual consumption.

For instructions on how to upload and install Conan packages from the GitLab
package registry, see the [Conan package registry documentation](../../user/packages/conan_repository/index.md).

NOTE:
These endpoints do not adhere to the standard API authentication methods.
See each route for details on how credentials are expected to be passed. Undocumented authentication methods might be removed in the future.

NOTE:
The Conan registry is not FIPS compliant and is disabled when [FIPS mode](../../development/fips_compliance.md) is enabled.
These endpoints will all return 404 Not Found.

## Route prefix

There are two sets of identical routes that each make requests in different scopes:

- Use the instance-level prefix to make requests in the entire GitLab instance's scope.
- Use the project-level prefix to make requests in a single project's scope.

The examples in this document all use the instance-level prefix.

### Instance-level

```plaintext
/packages/conan/v1
```

When using the instance-level routes, be aware that there is a
[naming restriction](../../user/packages/conan_repository/index.md#package-recipe-naming-convention-for-instance-remotes)
for Conan recipes.

### Project-level

```plaintext
 /projects/:id/packages/conan/v1`
```

| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id`      | string | yes | The project ID or full project path. |

## Ping

> Introduced in GitLab 12.2.

Ping the GitLab Conan repository to verify availability:

```plaintext
GET <route-prefix>/ping
```

```shell
curl "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/packages/conan/v1/ping"
```

Example response:

```json
""
```

## Search

> Introduced in GitLab 12.4.

Search the instance for Conan packages by name:

```plaintext
GET <route-prefix>/conans/search
```

| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `q`       | string | yes | Search query. You can use `*` as a wildcard. |

```shell
curl --user <username>:<personal_access_token> "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/packages/conan/v1/conans/search?q=Hello*"
```

Example response:

```json
{

  ]
}
```

## Authenticate

> Introduced in GitLab 12.2.

The Conan package manager client automatically uses this token.
