Protected branches API

Note: This feature was introduced in GitLab 9.5

Valid access levels

The access levels are defined in the ProtectedRefAccess.allowed_access_levels method. Currently, these levels are recognized:

0  => No access
30 => Developer access
40 => Maintainer access
60 => Admin access

List protected branches

Gets a list of protected branches from a project.

GET /projects/:id/protected_branches

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
id	integer/string	yes	The ID or URL-encoded path of the project owned by the authenticated user

curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" 'https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/protected_branches'

Example response:

[
  {
    "name": "master",
    "push_access_levels": [
      {
        "access_level": 40,
        "access_level_description": "Maintainers"
      }
    ],
    "merge_access_levels": [

  },
  ...
]

Users on GitLab Starter, Bronze, or higher will also see the user_id and group_id parameters:

Example response:

Example response:

{
  "name": "*-stable",
  "push_access_levels": [
    {
      "access_level": 30,
      "access_level_description": "Developers + Maintainers"

    {
      "access_level": 30,
      "user_id": null,

    }
  ]
}

Example with user / group level access (STARTER)

Elements in the allowed_to_push / allowed_to_merge / allowed_to_unprotect array should take the form {user_id: integer}, {group_id: integer} or {access_level: integer}. Each user must have access to the project and each group must have this project shared. These access levels allow more granular control over protected branch access and were added to the API in in GitLab 10.3 EE.

curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" 'https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/protected_branches?name=*-stable&allowed_to_push%5B%5D%5Buser_id%5D=1'

Example response:

{
  "name": "*-stable",
  "push_access_levels": [
    {
      "access_level": null,
      "user_id": 1,
      "group_id": null,
      "access_level_description": "Administrator"
    }
  ],
  "merge_access_levels": [
    {
      "access_level": 40,

    }
  ]
}

Unprotect repository branches
