# API Usage
|
|
|
|
## Enabling/configuring API access
|
|
|
|
By default, `ENABLE_SWAGGER` is true, and `MAX_RESPONSE_ITEMS` is set to 50. See [Config Cheat Sheet](administration/config-cheat-sheet.md) for more information.
|
|
|
|
## Authentication
|
|
|
|
Gitea supports these methods of API authentication:
|
|
|
|
- HTTP basic authentication
|
|
- `token=...` parameter in URL query string
|
|
- `access_token=...` parameter in URL query string
|
|
- `Authorization: token ...` header in HTTP headers
|
|
|
|
All of these methods accept the same API key token type. You can
|
|
better understand this by looking at the code -- as of this writing,
|
|
Gitea parses queries and headers to find the token in
|
|
[modules/auth/auth.go](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/6efdcaed86565c91a3dc77631372a9cc45a58e89/modules/auth/auth.go#L47).
|
|
|
|
## Generating and listing API tokens
|
|
|
|
A new token can be generated with a `POST` request to
|
|
`/users/:name/tokens`.
|
|
|
|
Note that `/users/:name/tokens` is a special endpoint and requires you
|
|
to authenticate using `BasicAuth` and a password, as follows:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name":"test"}' -u username:password https://gitea.your.host/api/v1/users/<username>/tokens
|
|
{"id":1,"name":"test","sha1":"9fcb1158165773dd010fca5f0cf7174316c3e37d","token_last_eight":"16c3e37d"}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The ``sha1`` (the token) is only returned once and is not stored in
|
|
plain-text. It will not be displayed when listing tokens with a `GET`
|
|
request; e.g.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ curl --url https://yourusername:password@gitea.your.host/api/v1/users/<username>/tokens
|
|
[{"name":"test","sha1":"","token_last_eight:"........":},{"name":"dev","sha1":"","token_last_eight":"........"}]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To use the API with basic authentication with two factor authentication
|
|
enabled, you'll need to send an additional header that contains the one
|
|
time password (6 digitrotating token).
|
|
An example of the header is `X-Gitea-OTP: 123456` where `123456`
|
|
is where you'd place the code from your authenticator.
|
|
Here is how the request would look like in curl:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ curl -H "X-Gitea-OTP: 123456" --url https://yourusername:yourpassword@gitea.your.host/api/v1/users/yourusername/tokens
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also create an API key token via your Gitea installation's web
|
|
interface: `Settings | Applications | Generate New Token`.
|
|
|
|
## OAuth2 Provider
|
|
|
|
Access tokens obtained from Gitea's [OAuth2 provider](development/oauth2-provider.md) are accepted by these methods:
|
|
|
|
- `Authorization bearer ...` header in HTTP headers
|
|
- `token=...` parameter in URL query string
|
|
- `access_token=...` parameter in URL query string
|
|
|
|
### More on the `Authorization:` header
|
|
|
|
For historical reasons, Gitea needs the word `token` included before
|
|
the API key token in an authorization header, like this:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
Authorization: token 65eaa9c8ef52460d22a93307fe0aee76289dc675
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In a `curl` command, for instance, this would look like:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl "http://localhost:4000/api/v1/repos/test1/test1/issues" \
|
|
-H "accept: application/json" \
|
|
-H "Authorization: token 65eaa9c8ef52460d22a93307fe0aee76289dc675" \
|
|
-H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{ \"body\": \"testing\", \"title\": \"test 20\"}" -i
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
As mentioned above, the token used is the same one you would use in
|
|
the `token=` string in a GET request.
|
|
|
|
## Pagination
|
|
|
|
The API supports pagination. The `page` and `limit` parameters are used to specify the page number and the number of items per page. As well, the `Link` header is returned with the next, previous, and last page links if there are more than one pages. The `x-total-count` is also returned to indicate the total number of items.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl -v "http://localhost/api/v1/repos/search?limit=1"
|
|
...
|
|
< link: <http://localhost/api/v1/repos/search?limit=1&page=2>; rel="next",<http://localhost/api/v1/repos/search?limit=1&page=5252>; rel="last"
|
|
...
|
|
< x-total-count: 5252
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
API Reference guide is auto-generated by swagger and available on:
|
|
`https://gitea.your.host/api/swagger`
|
|
or on the
|
|
[Gitea demo instance](https://try.gitea.io/api/swagger)

|
|
## Sudo
|
|
|
|
The API allows admin users to sudo API requests as another user. Simply add either a `sudo=` parameter or `Sudo:` request header with the username of the user to sudo.
