Pipelines API

Single Pipeline Requests

Introduced in GitLab 13.3.

Endpoints that request information about a single pipeline return data for any pipeline. Before 13.3, requests for child pipelines returned a 404 error.

Pipelines pagination

By default, GET requests return 20 results at a time because the API results are paginated.

Read more on pagination.
