GitLab REST and GraphQL API access via glab. Use when making API requests, running GraphQL queries or mutations, querying project data, automating GitLab operations, or looking up GitLab feature, API, or CI/CD documentation.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# GitLab API

REST and GraphQL API access via `glab api`.

## Placeholders

Auto-resolve to current project values:

- `:fullpath` - Full project path (e.g., `group/project`)
- `:id` - Project ID
- `:branch` - Current branch
- `:user` / `:username` - Current user

```bash
glab api projects/:fullpath/merge_requests
```

## REST

```bash
glab api projects/:id/issues                          # GET
glab api projects/:id/issues -X POST -f title="..."   # POST with field
glab api projects/:id/issues --paginate               # All pages
```

#### No `--jq`/`-q`

Output filtering flags belong to `gh api`. Pipe to `jq` instead: `glab api <endpoint> | jq '<filter>'`. There is also no `--json` flag anywhere in `glab`. Use `--output json`.

#### Error Bodies Land on Stdout

A 404/4xx response is a JSON error body (`{"message":"404 Not found"}`), so `glab api ... | jq '.field'` turns the real HTTP error into misleading `null` output or a jq type error (`Cannot index string`, `Cannot iterate over object`). When a pipeline misbehaves, rerun the `glab api` call bare and read the body before touching the jq filter.

#### Pagination Pitfall

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bendrucker/claude/gitlab:api@sha256:9c822412609694e7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260902.80b1277, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
