This page describes the project related REST endpoints.
Please also take note of the general information on the
link:rest-api.html[REST API].

[[project-endpoints]]
== Project Endpoints

[[list-projects]]
=== List Projects
--
'GET /projects/'
--

Lists the projects accessible by the caller. This is the same as
using the link:cmd-ls-projects.html[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
link:#project-info[ProjectInfo] entries. The entries in the map are sorted
by project name.

Tree(t)::
Get projects inheritance in a tree-like format. This option does
not work together with the branch option.

[NOTE]
If the calling user does not meet any of the following criteria:

and the calling user has READ permission to at least one ref.
* The state of the parent project is "HIDDEN" and the calling user
has READ permission for 'refs/meta/config'.

Then the 'parent' field will be labeled as '?-N', where N represents the
nesting level within the project's tree structure. In the provided example,
'All-Projects' corresponds to level 1, 'parent-project' to level 2, and
'child-project' to level 3.

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

Queries projects visible to the caller. The
link:user-search-projects.html#_search_operators[query string] must be
provided by the `query` parameter. The `start` and `limit` parameters
can be used to skip/limit results.

As result a list of link:#project-info[ProjectInfo] entities is returned.

.Request
----
  GET /projects/?query=name:test HTTP/1.0

[[project-query-limit]]
==== Project Limit
The `/projects/?query=<query>` URL also accepts a limit integer in the
`limit` parameter. This limits the results to `limit` projects.

Query the first 25 projects in project list.
----
  GET /projects/?query=<query>&limit=25 HTTP/1.0
----

If the number of projects matching the query exceeds either the
internal limit or a supplied `limit` query parameter, the last project
object has a `_more_projects: true` JSON field set.

The `/projects/` URL also accepts a start integer in the `start`
parameter. The results will skip `start` projects from project list.

Query 25 projects starting from index 50.
----
  GET /projects/?query=<query>&limit=25&start=50 HTTP/1.0
----

[[project-query-options]]
==== Project Options
Additional fields can be obtained by adding `o` parameters. Each option
requires more lookups and slows down the query response time to the
client so they are generally disabled by default. The supported fields
are described in the context of the link:#project-options[List Projects]
REST endpoint.

The option `async` allows to schedule a background task that asynchronously
executes a Git garbage collection.

The `Location` header of the response refers to the link:rest-api-config.html#get-task[background task]
which allows to inspect the progress of its execution. In case of asynchronous
execution the `show_progress` option is ignored.

[[ban-commit]]
=== Ban Commit
--
'PUT /projects/link:#project-name[\{project-name\}]/ban'
--

Marks commits as banned for the project. If a commit is banned Gerrit
rejects every push that includes this commit with
link:error-contains-banned-commit.html[contains banned commit ...].

[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
link:#ban-input[BanInput] entity.

The caller must be project owner.

[[set-access]]
=== Add, Update and Delete Access Rights for Project
--
'POST /projects/link:rest-api-projects.html#project-name[\{project-name\}]/access'
--

Sets access rights for the project using the diff schema provided by
link:#project-access-input[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
link:rest-api-access.html#project-access-info[ProjectAccessInfo]
entity is returned.

The branch for which to check access. This must be given if `perm` is specified.

[[index]]
=== Index project

[[check]]
=== Check project consistency

Performs consistency checks on the project.

Which consistency checks should be performed is controlled by the
link:#check-project-input[CheckProjectInput] entity in the request
body.

The following consistency checks are supported:

[[auto-closeable-changes-check]]
--
* 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
link:access-control.html#capability_administrateServer[Administrate Server]
global capability.

.Request
----
  POST /projects/MyProject/check HTTP/1.0

Gets refs in which the specified commits were merged into. Returns a map of commits

in the map if they do not exist or are not reachable from visible, specified refs.

One or more `ref` query parameters are required and each specifies a full ref name.
Refs which are not visible to the calling user according to the project's read
permissions and refs which do not exist will be filtered out from the result.

[[cherry-pick-commit]]
=== Cherry Pick Commit
--
'POST /projects/link:#project-name[\{project-name\}]/commits/link:#commit-id[\{commit-id\}]/cherrypick'
--

Cherry-picks a commit of a project to a destination branch.

If one of the secondary emails associated with the user performing the operation was used as the
committer email in the original commit, the same email will be used as the committer email in the
new patch set; otherwise, the user's preferred email will be used.

To cherry pick a change revision, see link:rest-api-changes.html#cherry-pick[CherryPick].

The destination branch must be provided in the request body inside a
link:rest-api-changes.html#cherrypick-input[CherryPickInput] entity.
If the commit message is not set, the commit message of the source
commit will be used.

When cherry-picking a commit into a branch that already contains the Change-Id
that we want to cherry-pick, the cherry-pick will create a new patch-set on the
destination's branch's appropriate Change-Id. If the change is closed on the
destination branch, the cherry-pick will fail.

The integer-valued request parameter `parent` changes the response to return a
list of the files which are different in this commit compared to the given
parent commit. This is useful for supporting review of merge commits. The value
is the 1-based index of the parent's position in the commit object. If the
value 0 is used for `parent`, the default base commit will be used, which is
the only parent for commits having one parent or the auto-merge commit
otherwise.
