Projects API
Tier: Free, Premium, Ultimate
Offering: GitLab.com, Self-managed, GitLab Dedicated
Interact with projects by using the REST API.
Users with any default role can read project properties with the Projects API. Only users with the Owner or Maintainer role can edit project properties in the UI or with the API.
Project visibility level
A project in GitLab can be private, internal, or public.
The visibility level is determined by the visibility field in the project.
For details, see Project visibility.
The fields returned in responses vary based on the permissions of the authenticated user.
Removals in API v5
These attributes are deprecated, and are scheduled to be removed in v5 of the API:
-
tag_list: Use thetopicsattribute instead. -
marked_for_deletion_at: Use themarked_for_deletion_onattribute instead. Available only to GitLab Premium or Ultimate. -
approvals_before_merge: Use the Merge request approvals API instead. Available only to GitLab Premium or Ultimate.
Project merge method
The merge_method can use these options:
-
merge: a merge commit is created for every merge, and merging is allowed if no conflicts are present. -
rebase_merge: a merge commit is created for every merge, but merging is only allowed if fast-forward merge is possible. You can make sure that the target branch would build after this merge request builds and merges. -
ff: no merge commits are created and all merges are fast-forwarded. Merging is only allowed if the branch could be fast-forwarded.
List all projects
History
- The
_links.cluster_agentsattribute in the response was introduced in GitLab 15.0.
Get a list of all visible projects across GitLab for the authenticated user. When accessed without authentication, only public projects with simple fields are returned.

last_activity_at is updated based on project activity and project events. updated_at is updated whenever the project record is changed in the database.You can filter by custom attributes with:
GET /projects?custom_attributes[key]=value&custom_attributes[other_key]=other_value
Example request:
curl --globoff --request GET "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects?custom_attributes[location]=Antarctica&custom_attributes[role]=Developer"
Pagination limits
Offset-based pagination is limited to 50,000 records. Keyset pagination is required to retrieve projects beyond this limit.

If the project is a fork, the forked_from_project field appears in the response.
For this field, if the upstream project is private, a valid token for authentication must be provided.
The field mr_default_target_self appears as well. If this value is false, then all merge requests
target the upstream project by default.
