Deploy tokens#

Deploy tokens allow read-only access to your repository and registry images without having a user and a password.

Deploy tokens#

This endpoint requires admin access.

Reference#

Examples#

Use the list() method to list all deploy tokens across the GitLab instance.

# List deploy tokens
deploy_tokens = gl.deploytokens.list()

Project deploy tokens#

This endpoint requires project maintainer access or higher.

Reference#

Examples#

List the deploy tokens for a project:

deploy_tokens = project.deploytokens.list()

Get a deploy token for a project by id:

deploy_token = project.deploytokens.get(deploy_token_id)

Create a new deploy token to access registry images of a project:

In addition to required parameters name and scopes, this method accepts the following parameters:

  • expires_at Expiration date of the deploy token. Does not expire if no value is provided.

  • username Username for deploy token. Default is gitlab+deploy-token-{n}

deploy_token = project.deploytokens.create({'name': 'token1', 'scopes': ['read_registry'], 'username':'', 'expires_at':''})
# show its id
print(deploy_token.id)
# show the token value. Make sure you save it, you won't be able to access it again.
print(deploy_token.token)

Warning

With GitLab 12.9, even though username and expires_at are not required, they always have to be passed to the API. You can set them to empty strings, see: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/211878. Also, the username’s value is ignored by the API and will be overridden with gitlab+deploy-token-{n}, see: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/211963 These issues were fixed in GitLab 12.10.

Remove a deploy token from the project:

deploy_token.delete()
# or
project.deploytokens.delete(deploy_token.id)

Group deploy tokens#

Reference#

Examples#

List the deploy tokens for a group:

deploy_tokens = group.deploytokens.list()

Get a deploy token for a group by id:

deploy_token = group.deploytokens.get(deploy_token_id)

Create a new deploy token to access all repositories of all projects in a group:

In addition to required parameters name and scopes, this method accepts the following parameters:

  • expires_at Expiration date of the deploy token. Does not expire if no value is provided.

  • username Username for deploy token. Default is gitlab+deploy-token-{n}

deploy_token = group.deploytokens.create({'name': 'token1', 'scopes': ['read_repository'], 'username':'', 'expires_at':''})
# show its id
print(deploy_token.id)
