Application settings API

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

Use this API to interact with the application settings for your GitLab instance.

Changes to your application settings are subject to caching and might not immediately take effect. By default, GitLab caches application settings for 60 seconds. For information on how to control the application settings cache for an instance, see Application cache interval.

Prerequisites:

You must have administrator access to the instance.
