# Projects API

## Project visibility level

Project in GitLab can be either private, internal or public.
This is determined by the `visibility` field in the project.

Values for the project visibility level are:

- `private`:
  Project access must be granted explicitly for each user.

- `internal`:
  The project can be cloned by any logged in user.

- `public`:
  The project can be accessed without any authentication.

## Project merge method

There are currently three options for `merge_method` to choose from:

- `merge`:
  A merge commit is created for every merge, and merging is allowed as long as there are no conflicts.

- `rebase_merge`:
  A merge commit is created for every merge, but merging is only allowed if fast-forward merge is possible.
  This way you could make sure that if this merge request would build, after merging to target branch it would also build.

- `ff`:
  No merge commits are created and all merges are fast-forwarded, which means that merging is only allowed if the branch could be fast-forwarded.

## List all projects

Get a list of all visible projects across GitLab for the authenticated user.
When accessed without authentication, only public projects with "simple" fields are returned.

```
GET /projects
```

| `min_access_level`            | integer | no | Limit by current user minimal [access level](members.md) |

When `simple=true` or the user is unauthenticated this returns something like:

## Remove project

Removes a project including all associated resources (issues, merge requests etc).

```
DELETE /projects/:id
```

| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) |

## Upload a file

Uploads a file to the specified project to be used in an issue or merge request description, or a comment.

```
POST /projects/:id/uploads
```

| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) |
| `file` | string | yes | The file to be uploaded |

To upload a file from your filesystem, use the `--form` argument. This causes
cURL to post data using the header `Content-Type: multipart/form-data`.
The `file=` parameter must point to a file on your filesystem and be preceded
by `@`. For example:

```bash
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" --form "file=@dk.png" https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/uploads
```

Returned object:

```json
{
  "alt": "dk",
  "url": "/uploads/66dbcd21ec5d24ed6ea225176098d52b/dk.png",
  "markdown": "![dk](/uploads/66dbcd21ec5d24ed6ea225176098d52b/dk.png)"
}
```

>**Note**: The returned `url` is relative to the project path.
In Markdown contexts, the link is automatically expanded when the format in
`markdown` is used.

## Share project with group

```
POST /projects/:id/share
```

| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |

| `group_access` | integer | yes | The [permissions level](members.md) to grant the group |
| `expires_at` | string | no | Share expiration date in ISO 8601 format: 2016-09-26 |
