Jobs API

Tier: Free, Premium, Ultimate
Offering: GitLab.com, GitLab Self-Managed, GitLab Dedicated

List project jobs

History

Get a list of jobs in a project. Jobs are sorted in descending order of their IDs.

By default, this request returns 20 results at a time because the API results are paginated

This endpoint supports both offset-based and keyset-based pagination, but keyset-based pagination is strongly recommended when requesting consecutive pages of results.

GET /projects/:id/jobs

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
`id`	integer/string	Yes	ID or URL-encoded path of the project.
`scope`	string or array of strings	No	Scope of jobs to show. Either one of or an array of the following: `created`, `pending`, `running`, `failed`, `success`, `canceled`, `skipped`, `waiting_for_resource`, or `manual`. All jobs are returned if `scope` is not provided.
