Danger

Creating an invitation with create() returns a status response, rather than invitation details, because it allows sending multiple invitations at the same time.

Thus when using several emails, you do not create a real invitation object you can manipulate, because python-gitlab cannot know which email to track as the ID.

In that case, use a lazy get() method shown below using a specific email address to create an invitation object you can manipulate.

Create an invitation:

invitation = group_or_project.invitations.create(
    {
        "email": "email@example.com",
        "access_level": gitlab.const.AccessLevel.DEVELOPER,
    }
)

List invitations for a group or project:

invitations = group_or_project.invitations.list()

Warning

As mentioned above, GitLab does not provide a real GET endpoint for a single invitation. We can create a lazy object to later manipulate it.

Update an invitation:

invitation = group_or_project.invitations.get("email@example.com", lazy=True)
invitation.access_level = gitlab.const.AccessLevel.DEVELOPER
invitation.save()

# or
group_or_project.invitations.update(
    "email@example.com",
    {"access_level": gitlab.const.AccessLevel.DEVELOPER}
)

Delete an invitation:

invitation = group_or_project.invitations.get("email@example.com", lazy=True)
invitation.delete()

# or
group_or_project.invitations.delete("email@example.com")
