Conan API

This is the API documentation for Conan Packages.

For instructions on how to upload and install Conan packages from the GitLab package registry, see the Conan package registry documentation.

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

/packages/conan/v1

When using the instance-level routes, be aware that there is a naming restriction for Conan recipes.

Project-level

/projects/:id/packages/conan/v1

Ping

Ping the GitLab Conan repository to verify availability:

GET <route-prefix>/ping

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

Example response:

""

Search

Search the instance for Conan packages by name:

GET <route-prefix>/conans/search

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

Example response:

{
  "results": [
    "Hello/0.1@foo+conan_test_prod/beta",
    "Hello/0.1@foo+conan_test_prod/stable",
    "Hello/0.2@foo+conan_test_prod/beta",
    "Hello/0.3@foo+conan_test_prod/beta",
    "Hello/0.1@foo+conan-reference-test/stable",
    "HelloWorld/0.1@baz+conan-reference-test/beta"
    "hello-world/0.4@buz+conan-test/alpha"
  ]
}

Authenticate

Returns a JWT to be used for Conan requests in a Bearer header:

"Authorization: Bearer <token>

The Conan package manager client automatically uses this token.

GET <route-prefix>/users/authenticate

curl --user <username>:<personal_access_token> "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/packages/conan/v1/users/authenticate"

Example response:

eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIiheR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJhY2Nlc3NfdG9rZW4iOjMyMTQyMzAsqaVzZXJfaWQiOjQwNTkyNTQsImp0aSI6IjdlNzBiZTNjLWFlNWQtNDEyOC1hMmIyLWZiOThhZWM0MWM2OSIsImlhd3r1MTYxNjYyMzQzNSwibmJmIjoxNjE2NjIzNDMwLCJleHAiOjE2MTY2MjcwMzV9.QF0Q3ZIB2GW5zNKyMSIe0HIFOITjEsZEioR-27Rtu7E

Check Credentials

Checks the validity of Basic Auth credentials or a Conan JWT generated from /authenticate.

GET <route-prefix>/users/check_credentials

curl --header "Authorization: Bearer <authenticate_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/packages/conan/v1/users/check_credentials

Example response:

ok
