Conan v1 API

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

For Conan v2 operations, see Conan v2 API.

Use this API to interact with the Conan v1 package manager. These endpoints work for both projects and instances. For more information, see Conan packages in the package registry.

Generally, these endpoints are used by the Conan 1 package manager client and are not meant for manual consumption.

  • 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.

  • The Conan registry is not FIPS compliant and is disabled when FIPS mode is enabled. These endpoints all return 404 Not Found.
