I have a GitLab repo url, trying to find the project ID using GitLab API. looking at this https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/projects.html#list-all-projects page I didn't find the option to search by repo url.

eg.

Given this URL https://gitlab.com/gitlab-learn-labs/gitops/classgroup-unilogik-2/shanekba/world-greetings-env-1

Find the Project ID: 38149446

Is there an option to find this project id?

Thanks

You can use the path of the repo to access project info from the API. You just need to URL-encode the path.

Using the projects API

project_path="gitlab-learn-labs%2fgitops%2fclassgroup-unilogik-2%2fshanekba%2fworld-greetings-env-1"
url="https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/${project_path}"
curl -s "${url}" | jq .id

Output:

38149446

As a complete example starting from the original URL:

project_url="https://gitlab.com/gitlab-learn-labs/gitops/classgroup-unilogik-2/shanekba/world-greetings-env-1"

project_path="$(cut -d/ -f4- <<< ${project_url})"
urlencoded_path="${project_path//'\/'/%2f}"  # use `urlencode` if installed, but this works in a pinch
curl -s "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/${urlencoded_path}" | jq .id

Using GraphQL

Alternatively, you can use the graphql API. A graphql query like:

{
  project(fullPath: "gitlab-org/gitlab") {
    fullPath
    id
  }
}

Will produce the ID in the response:

{
  "data": {
    "project": {
      "fullPath": "gitlab-org/gitlab",
      "id": "gid://gitlab/Project/278964"
    }
  }
}
