# Maven API
This is the API documentation for [Maven Packages](../../user/packages/maven_repository/index.md).
WARNING:
This API is used by the [Maven package manager client](https://maven.apache.org/)
and is generally not meant for manual consumption.
For instructions on how to upload and install Maven packages from the GitLab
package registry, see the [Maven package registry documentation](../../user/packages/maven_repository/index.md).
NOTE:
These endpoints do not adhere to the standard API authentication methods.
See [Maven package registry documentation](../../user/packages/maven_repository/index.md)
for details on which headers and token types are supported.
## Download a package file at the instance-level
> Introduced in GitLab 11.6.
Download a Maven package file:
```plaintext
GET packages/maven/*path/:file_name
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `path` | string | yes | The Maven package path, in the format `<groupId>/<artifactId>/<version>`. Replace any `.` in the `groupId` with `/`. |
| `file_name` | string | yes | The name of the Maven package file. |
```shell
curl --header "Private-Token: <personal_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/packages/maven/foo/bar/baz/mypkg-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar"
```
To write the output to file:
```shell
curl --header "Private-Token: <personal_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/packages/maven/foo/bar/baz/mypkg-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar" >> mypkg-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
```
This writes the downloaded file to `mypkg-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar` in the current directory.
## Download a package file at the group-level
> Introduced in GitLab 11.7.
Download a Maven package file:
```plaintext
GET groups/:id/-/packages/maven/*path/:file_name
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |

```shell
curl --header "Private-Token: <personal_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/1/-/packages/maven/foo/bar/baz/mypkg-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar"
```
To write the output to file:
```shell
curl --header "Private-Token: <personal_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/1/-/packages/maven/foo/bar/baz/mypkg-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar" >> mypkg-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

```
To write the output to file:
```shell
