# Composer API
This is the API documentation for [Composer Packages](../../user/packages/composer_repository/index.md).
WARNING:
This API is used by the [Composer package manager client](https://getcomposer.org/)
and is generally not meant for manual consumption.
For instructions on how to upload and install Composer packages from the GitLab
package registry, see the [Composer package registry documentation](../../user/packages/composer_repository/index.md).
NOTE:
These endpoints do not adhere to the standard API authentication methods.
See the [Composer package registry documentation](../../user/packages/composer_repository/index.md)
for details on which headers and token types are supported.
## Base repository request
Returns the repository URL templates for requesting individual packages:
```plaintext
GET group/:id/-/packages/composer/packages
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ------ | -------- | ----------- |
| `id` | string | yes | The ID or full path of the group. |
```shell
curl --user <username>:<personal_access_token> "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/group/1/-/packages/composer/packages"
```
Example response:
```json
{
"packages": [],
"metadata-url": "/api/v4/group/1/-/packages/composer/p2/%package%.json",
"provider-includes": {
"p/%hash%.json": {
"sha256": "082df4a5035f8725a12i4a3d2da5e6aaa966d06843d0a5c6d499313810427bd6"
}
},
"providers-url": "/api/v4/group/1/-/packages/composer/%package%$%hash%.json"
}
```
This endpoint is used by Composer V1 and V2. To see the V2-specific response, include the Composer
`User-Agent` header. Using Composer V2 is recommended over V1.
```shell
curl --user <username>:<personal_access_token> \
--header "User-Agent: Composer/2" \
"https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/group/1/-/packages/composer/packages"
```
Example response:
```json
{
"packages": [],
"metadata-url": "/api/v4/group/1/-/packages/composer/p2/%package%.json"
}
```
## V1 packages list
Given the V1 provider sha, returns a list of packages within the repository. Using Composer V2 is
recommended over V1.
```plaintext
GET group/:id/-/packages/composer/p/:sha
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id` | string | yes | The ID or full path of the group. |
| `sha` | string | yes | The provider sha, provided by the Composer [base request](#base-repository-request). |
```shell
curl --user <username>:<personal_access_token> "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/group/1/-/packages/composer/p/082df4a5035f8725a12i4a3d2da5e6aaa966d06843d0a5c6d499313810427bd6"
```
Example response:
```json
{
"providers": {
"my-org/my-composer-package": {
"sha256": "5c873497cdaa82eda35af5de24b789be92dfb6510baf117c42f03899c166b6e7"
}
}
}
```
## V1 Package Metadata
Returns the list of versions and metadata for a given package. Using Composer V2 is recommended over
V1.
```plaintext
GET group/:id/-/packages/composer/:package_name$:sha
```
Note the `$` symbol in the URL. When making requests, you may need to use the URL-encoded version of
the symbol `%24` (see example below).
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| -------------- | ------ | -------- | ----------- |
| `id` | string | yes | The ID or full path of the group. |
| `package_name` | string | yes | The name of the package. |
| `sha` | string | yes | The sha digest of the package, provided by the [V1 packages list](#v1-packages-list). |
```shell
curl --user <username>:<personal_access_token> "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/group/1/-/packages/composer/my-org/my-composer-package%245c873497cdaa82eda35af5de24b789be92dfb6510baf117c42f03899c166b6e7"
