Vulnerability export API (ULTIMATE)

Introduced in GitLab 12.10. Updated in GitLab 13.0.

WARNING: This API is in an Experiment and considered unstable. The response payload may be subject to change or breakage across GitLab releases.

Every API call to vulnerability exports must be authenticated.

Create a project-level vulnerability export

Creates a new vulnerability export for a project.

If an authenticated user doesn't have permission to create a new vulnerability, this request returns a 403 Forbidden status code.

Vulnerability exports can be only accessed by the export's author.

POST /security/projects/:id/vulnerability_exports

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
`id`	integer or string	yes	The ID or URL-encoded path of the project which the authenticated user is a member of

curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/security/projects/1/vulnerability_exports"

The created vulnerability export is automatically deleted after 1 hour.

Example response:

{
  "id": 2,
  "created_at": "2020-03-30T09:35:38.746Z",
  "project_id": 1,
  "group_id": null,
  "format": "csv",
  "status": "created",
  "started_at": null,
  "finished_at": null,
  "_links": {
    "self": "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/security/vulnerability_exports/2",

  }
}

Create a group-level vulnerability export

Creates a new vulnerability export for a group.

If an authenticated user doesn't have permission to create a new vulnerability, this request returns a 403 Forbidden status code.

Vulnerability exports can be only accessed by the export's author.

POST /security/groups/:id/vulnerability_exports

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
`id`	integer or string	yes	The ID or URL-encoded path of the group which the authenticated user is a member of

curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/security/groups/1/vulnerability_exports"

The created vulnerability export is automatically deleted after 1 hour.

Example response:

{
  "id": 2,
  "created_at": "2020-03-30T09:35:38.746Z",
  "project_id": null,
