This page describes the project related REST endpoints. Please also take note of the general information on the REST API.
Project Endpoints
List Projects
'GET /projects/'
Lists the projects accessible by the caller. This is the same as using the ls-projects command over SSH, and accepts the same options as query parameters.
As result a map is returned that maps the project names to ProjectInfo entries. The entries in the map are sorted by project name.
GET /projects/?d HTTP/1.0
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Disposition: attachment Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 )]}' { "external/bison": { "id": "external%2Fbison", "description": "GNU parser generator" }, "external/gcc": { "id": "external%2Fgcc" }, "external/openssl": { "id": "external%2Fopenssl", "description": "encryption\ncrypto routines" }, "test": { "id": "test", "description": "\u003chtml\u003e is escaped" } }
Project Options

-
Limit the results to the projects having the specified branch and include the sha1 of the branch in the results.
Get projects that have a 'master' branch:

Query Projects
'GET /projects/?query=<query>'

URL also accepts a limit integer in the
limit
parameter. This limits the results to limit
projects.

parameters. Each option

client so they are generally disabled by default. The supported fields
are described in the context of the List Projects
REST endpoint.

Note
|
This REST endpoint only marks the commits as banned, but it does not remove the commits from the history of any central branch. This needs to be done manually. |
The commits to be banned must be specified in the request body as a BanInput entity.
The caller must be project owner.
PUT /projects/plugins%2Freplication/ban HTTP/1.0 Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 { "commits": [ "a8a477efffbbf3b44169bb9a1d3a334cbbd9aa96", "cf5b56541f84b8b57e16810b18daca9c3adc377b" ], "reason": "Violates IP" }

Add, Update and Delete Access Rights for Project
'POST /projects/{project-name}/access'
Sets access rights for the project using the diff schema provided by ProjectAccessInput. Deductions are used to remove access sections, permissions or permission rules. The backend will remove the entity with the finest granularity in the request, meaning that if an access section without permissions is posted, the access section will be removed; if an access section with a permission but no permission rules is posted, the permission will be removed; if an access section with a permission and a permission rule is posted, the permission rule will be removed.
Additionally, access sections and permissions will be cleaned up after applying the deductions by removing items that have no child elements.
After removals have been applied, additions will be applied.
As result a ProjectAccessInfo entity is returned.

Create Access Rights Change for review.
'PUT /projects/{project-name}/access:review
Sets access rights for the project using the diff schema provided by ProjectAccessInput
This takes the same input as Update Access Rights, but creates a pending change for review. Like Create Change, it returns a ChangeInfo entity describing the resulting change.
PUT /projects/MyProject/access:review HTTP/1.0 Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 { "add": { "refs/heads/*": { "permissions": { "read": { "rules": { "global:Anonymous-Users": { "action": "DENY", "force": false } } } } } } }

Check Access
'GET /projects/MyProject/check.access?account=1000098&ref=refs%2Fheads%2Fsecret%2Fbla'
This command runs access checks for other users. This requires the View Access global capability.
The result is a AccessCheckInfo entity detailing the access of the given user for the given project, project-ref, or project-permission-ref combination.
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 )]}' { "message": "user Kristen Burns \u003cKristen.Burns@gerritcodereview.com\u003e (1000098) cannot see ref refs/heads/secret/bla in project MyProject", "status": 403 }
Check Access Options
- Account(account)
-
The account for which to check access. Mandatory.
- Permission(perm)
-
The ref permission for which to check access. If not specified, read access to at least branch is checked.
- Ref(ref)
-
The branch for which to check access. This must be given if
perm
is specified.
Index project
Adds or updates the current project (and children, if specified) in the secondary index.
The indexing task is executed asynchronously in background and this command returns
immediately if async
is specified in the input.
As an input, a IndexProjectInput entity can be provided.
POST /projects/MyProject/index HTTP/1.0 Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 { "index_children": "true" "async": "true" }
HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted Content-Disposition: attachment
Index all changes in a project
Adds or updates all the changes belonging to a project in the secondary index. The indexing task is executed asynchronously in background, so this command returns immediately.
POST /projects/MyProject/index.changes HTTP/1.0
HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted Content-Disposition: attachment
Check project consistency
Performs consistency checks on the project.
Which consistency checks should be performed is controlled by the CheckProjectInput entity in the request body.
The following consistency checks are supported:
-
AutoCloseableChangesCheck: Searches for open changes that can be auto-closed because a patch set of the change is already contained in the destination branch or because the destination branch contains a commit with the same Change-Id. Normally Gerrit auto-closes such changes when the corresponding commits are pushed directly to the repository. However if a branch is updated behind Gerrit’s back or if auto-closing changes fails (and the push is still successful) change states can get inconsistent (changes that are already part of the destination branch are still open). This consistency check is intended to detect and repair this situation.
To fix any problems that can be fixed automatically set the fix
field
in the inputs for the consistency checks to true
.
This REST endpoint requires the Administrate Server global capability.
POST /projects/MyProject/check HTTP/1.0 Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 { "auto_closeable_changes_check": { "fix": true, "branch": "refs/heads/master", "max_commits": 100 } }
As response a CheckProjectResultInfo entity is returned that results for the consistency checks.
