Gitlab SDK

GitLab API client, generated from the OpenAPI spec.

Learn more about GitLab API at gitlab.com.

This is an unofficial SDK for the GitLab public API, generated by Voxgig with @voxgig/sdkgen. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the upstream API provider.

TypeScript, Python, Golang, Ruby SDKs, and an interactive REPL — all generated from one OpenAPI spec by @voxgig/sdkgen.

and Wiki — that you call directly, instead of assembling URL paths and query strings. Entities are Capitalised to mark them as the primary surface, each with the operations they support (list, load, create, update, remove, patch):

const client = new GitlabSDK()

Thinking in entities keeps the mental model small — for people and AI agents alike — rather than reasoning about raw HTTP routes and query parameters.

Offline unit testing

Every SDK ships a built-in test mode that swaps the HTTP transport for an in-memory mock, so your unit tests run fully offline — no server, no network, and no credentials:

TypeScript

const client = GitlabSDK.test()
const apientitiesaccessrequesters = await client.ApiEntitiesAccessRequester().list()
// apientitiesaccessrequesters is an array of bare ApiEntitiesAccessRequester records populated with mock data
console.log(apientitiesaccessrequesters)

Python

client = GitlabSDK.test()
apientitiesaccessrequesters = client.ApiEntitiesAccessRequester().list()
print(apientitiesaccessrequesters)

Golang

client := sdk.Test()
result, err := client.ApiEntitiesAccessRequester(nil).List(
    nil, nil,
)

Ruby

# Seed fixture data so offline calls resolve without a live server.
client = GitlabSDK.test({
  "entity" => { "apientitiesaccessrequester" => { "test01" => {} } },
})
apientitiesaccessrequesters = client.ApiEntitiesAccessRequester.list()

Packages

Quickstart

TypeScript

import { GitlabSDK } from '@voxgig-sdk/gitlab'

const client = new GitlabSDK({
  apikey: process.env.GITLAB_APIKEY,
})


// Load a specific apientitiesbranch (returns a ApiEntitiesBranch)
const apientitiesbranch = await client.ApiEntitiesBranch().load({
  project_id: 'example_project_id',
  id: 'example_id',
})
console.log(apientitiesbranch)

See the TypeScript README for the full guide.

Surfaces

Entities

The API exposes 276 entities:

The operations available across these entities are load, list, create, update, remove — see each entity’s own list above for exactly which it supports.

Quickstart in other languages

Python

import os
from gitlab_sdk import GitlabSDK

client = GitlabSDK({
    "apikey": os.environ.get("GITLAB_APIKEY"),
})

Golang

import sdk "github.com/voxgig-sdk/gitlab-sdk/go"

client := sdk.NewGitlabSDK(map[string]any{
    "apikey": os.Getenv("GITLAB_APIKEY"),
})


// Load a specific apientitiesbranch
apiEntitiesBranch, err := client.ApiEntitiesBranch(nil).Load(
    map[string]any{"project_id": "example_project_id", "id": "example_id"}, nil,
)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(apiEntitiesBranch)

Ruby

require_relative "Gitlab_sdk"

client = GitlabSDK.new({
  "apikey" => ENV["GITLAB_APIKEY"],
})

Direct and prepare

For endpoints the entity model doesn’t cover, use the low-level methods:

• direct(fetchargs) — build and send an HTTP request in one step.
• prepare(fetchargs) — build the request without sending it.

Both accept a map with path, method, params, query, headers, and body. See the How-to guides below.

How-to guides

Make a direct API call

When the entity interface does not cover an endpoint, use direct:

TypeScript:

const result = await client.direct({
  path: '/api/resource/{id}',
  method: 'GET',
  params: { id: 'example' },
})
if (result instanceof Error) {
  throw result
}
console.log(result.data)

Python:

result = client.direct({
    "path": "/api/resource/{id}",
    "method": "GET",
    "params": {"id": "example"},
})

Go:

result, err := client.Direct(map[string]any{
    "path":   "/api/resource/{id}",
    "method": "GET",
    "params": map[string]any{"id": "example"},
})
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(result)

Ruby:

result = client.direct({
  "path" => "/api/resource/{id}",
  "method" => "GET",
  "params" => { "id" => "example" },
})

Advanced

Everyday use only needs the sections above. This explains the internals behind every call — relevant when writing custom features.

Every SDK call runs the same five-stage pipeline:

1. Point — resolve the API endpoint from the operation definition.
2. Spec — build the HTTP specification (URL, method, headers, body).
3. Request — send the HTTP request.
4. Response — receive and parse the response.
5. Result — extract the result data for the caller.

A feature hook fires at each stage (e.g. PrePoint, PreSpec, PreRequest), so features can inspect or modify the pipeline without forking the SDK.

Features

Pass custom features via the extend option at construction time.
