Using this API you can manipulate GitLab [Release](../../user/project/releases/index.md) links. For manipulating other Release assets, see [Release API](index.md). GitLab supports links to `http`, `https`, and `ftp` assets. ## Get links Get assets as links from a Release. ```plaintext GET /projects/:id/releases/:tag_name/assets/links ``` | Attribute | Type | Required | Description | | ------------- | -------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------- | | `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](../index.md#namespaced-path-encoding). | | `tag_name` | string | yes | The tag associated with the Release. | Example request: ```shell curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: " "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/24/releases/v0.1/assets/links" ``` Example response: ```json [ { "id":2, "name":"awesome-v0.2.msi", "url":"http://192.168.10.15:3000/msi", "external":true, "link_type":"other" }, { "id":1, "name":"awesome-v0.2.dmg", "url":"http://192.168.10.15:3000", "external":true, "link_type":"other" } ] ``` ## Get a link Get an asset as a link from a Release. ```plaintext GET /projects/:id/releases/:tag_name/assets/links/:link_id ``` | Attribute | Type | Required | Description | | ------------- | -------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------- | | `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](../index.md#namespaced-path-encoding). | | `tag_name` | string | yes | The tag associated with the Release. | | `link_id` | integer | yes | The ID of the link. | Example request: ```shell curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: " "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/24/releases/v0.1/assets/links/1" ``` Example response: ```json { "id":1, "name":"awesome-v0.2.dmg", "url":"http://192.168.10.15:3000", "external":true, "link_type":"other" } ``` ## Create a link Create an asset as a link from a Release. ```plaintext POST /projects/:id/releases/:tag_name/assets/links ``` | Attribute | Type | Required | Description | | ------------- | -------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](../index.md#namespaced-path-encoding). | | `tag_name` | string | yes | The tag associated with the Release. | | `name` | string | yes | The name of the link.
