Conan v2 API

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

The availability of this feature is controlled by a feature flag. For more information, see the history.

Use this API to interact with the Conan v2 package manager. For Conan v1 operations, see Conan v1 API.

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.

Generally, these endpoints are used by the Conan 2 package manager client and are not meant for manual consumption.

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

Create an authentication token

Creates a JSON Web Token (JWT) for use as a Bearer header in other requests.

"Authorization: Bearer <authenticate_token>

The Conan 2 package manager client automatically uses this token.

GET /projects/:id/packages/conan/v2/users/authenticate

`id`	string	Conditionally	The project ID or full project path. Required only for the project endpoint.

Generate a base64-encoded Basic Auth token:

echo -n "<username>:<your_access_token>"|base64

Use the base64-encoded Basic Auth token to get a JWT token:

curl --request GET \
     --header 'Authorization: Basic <base64_encoded_token>' \
     --url "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/packages/conan/v2/users/authenticate"
