How can I retrieve a Gitlab Project tag list through the API?

Question

I'm writing a REST client to look at project information available from several gitlab servers at the same time in one consolidated place. I understand REST and am able to pull the project details I need except one: the tags.

I'm not talking about git repository tags, those I'm able to get to just fine. I'm referring to the tags that are set under Project Settings. These are tags that, from what I can tell, are meant to be a form of describing the project, not referencing a particular commit hash.

Answer 1

I submitted a merge request back to the Gitlab folks, if accept, any REST call that involves a Project class will include a "tag_list" field with all the project labels.

The merge request is available here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/329

EDIT: This was merged in Gitlab version 7.10.0 so now you can just run a GET on the Project and the tag_list will be included with the JSON response.

Answer 2

Not possible: ACCEPTING MERGE REQUEST at: http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general/suggestions/6325819-project-labels-via-api , so feel free to implement it if you need it.

Should be simple: just return the project.tag_list (see: https://github.com/mbleigh/acts-as-taggable-on) as a JSON list from https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/41518a467dcef61deca24ad2f6205c6fd5706e1b/lib/api/projects.rb#L60

Always check the request tracker first for features ;) True, in this case you may have done it an not found because of label vs tag keyword confusion, I think it was renamed at some point, so always search for both.
