# GitLab API
REST and GraphQL API access via `glab api`.
## Placeholders
Auto-resolve to current project values:
- `:fullpath` - Full project path (e.g., `group/project`)
- `:id` - Project ID
- `:branch` - Current branch
- `:user` / `:username` - Current user
```bash
glab api projects/:fullpath/merge_requests
```
## REST
```bash
glab api projects/:id/issues # GET
glab api projects/:id/issues -X POST -f title="..." # POST with field
glab api projects/:id/issues --paginate # All pages
```
## GraphQL
```bash
glab api graphql -f query='{ currentUser { username } }'
```
For pagination, accept `$endCursor` variable and fetch `pageInfo { hasNextPage, endCursor }`.
## Output
- `--output json` (default) - Pretty-printed JSON
- `--output ndjson` - Newline-delimited, works with `jq` streaming
## Documentation
- REST endpoints: `/api/` in [GitLab docs](https://docs.gitlab.com/api/)
- GraphQL schema: `/api/graphql/reference/`
