Gathering Data with Gitlab

To collect data, you can make a POST request to /task

```
curl --location --request POST 'localhost:8080/task' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '[[{
    "plugin": "gitlab",
    "options": {
        "projectId": <Your gitlab project id>
    }
}]]'
```

Finding Project Id

To get the project id for a specific Gitlab repository:

• Visit the repository page on gitlab

• Find the project id just below the title

  

Use this project id in your requests, to collect data from this project

⚠️ (WIP) Create a Gitlab API Token

1. When logged into Gitlab visit https://gitlab.com/-/profile/personal_access_tokens

2. Give the token any name, no expiration date and all scopes (excluding write access)

   

3. Click the Create Personal Access Token button

• [ ] Copy and save the API token string into lake via new go setup
