# Git LFS v1 Original API
|
||||
|
||||
This describes the original API for Git LFS v0.5.x. It's already deprecated by
|
||||
the [batch API][batch]. All requests should have:
|
||||
|
||||
Accept: application/vnd.git-lfs+json
|
||||
Content-Type: application/vnd.git-lfs+json
|
||||
|
||||
[batch]: ./http-v1-batch.md
|
||||
|
||||
## API Responses
|
||||
|
||||
This specification defines what status codes that API can return. Look at each
|
||||
individual API method for more details. Some of the specific status codes may
|
||||
trigger specific error messages from the client.
|
||||
|
||||
* 200 - The request completed successfully.
|
||||
* 202 - An upload request has been accepted. Clients must follow hypermedia
|
||||
links to actually upload the content.
|
||||
* 301 - A permanent redirect. Only supported for GET/HEAD requests.
|
||||
* 302 - A temporary redirect. Only supported for GET/HEAD requests.
|
||||
* 303 - A temporary redirect. Only supported for GET/HEAD requests.
|
||||
* 307 - A temporary redirect. Keeps the original request method intact.
|
||||
* 400 - General error with the client's request. Invalid JSON formatting, for
|
||||
example.
|
||||
* 401 - The authentication credentials are incorrect.
|
||||
* 403 - The requesting user has access to see the repository, but not to push
|
||||
changes to it.
|
||||
* 404 - Either the user does not have access to see the repository, or the
|
||||
repository or requested object does not exist.
|
||||
|
||||
The following status codes can optionally be returned from the API, depending on
|
||||
the server implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
* 406 - The Accept header needs to be `application/vnd.git-lfs+json`.
|
||||
* 410 - The requested object used to exist, but was deleted. The message should
|
||||
state why (user initiated, legal issues, etc).
|
||||
* 429 - The user has hit a rate limit with the server. Though the API does not
|
||||
specify any rate limits, implementors are encouraged to set some for
|
||||
availability reasons.
|
||||
* 501 - The server has not implemented the current method. Reserved for future
|
||||
use.
|
||||
* 509 - Returned if the bandwidth limit for the user or repository has been
|
||||
exceeded. The API does not specify any bandwidth limit, but implementors may
|
||||
track usage.
|
||||
|
||||
Some server errors may trigger the client to retry requests, such as 500, 502,
|
||||
503, and 504.
|
||||
|
||||
If the server returns a JSON error object, the client can display this message
|
||||
to users.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
> GET https://git-lfs-server.com/objects/{OID} HTTP/1.1
|
||||
> Accept: application/vnd.git-lfs+json
|
||||
>
|
||||
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
|
||||
< Content-Type: application/vnd.git-lfs+json
|
||||
<
|
||||
< {
|
||||
< "message": "Bad credentials",
|
||||
< "documentation_url": "https://git-lfs-server.com/docs/errors",
|
||||
< "request_id": "123"
|
||||
< }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `documentation_url` and `request_id` properties are optional. If given,
|
||||
they are displayed to the user.
|
||||
|
||||
## Redirections
|
||||
|
||||
The Git LFS client follows redirections on the core Git LFS API methods only.
|
||||
Any of the hypermedia hrefs that are returned must be for the current location.
|
||||
The client will pass all of the original request headers to the redirected
|
||||
request, only changing the URL based on the redirect location. The only
|
||||
exception is the Authorization header, which is only passed through if the
|
||||
original request and the new location have a matching URL scheme, host, and
|
||||
port.
|
||||
|
||||
The client will automatically follow redirections for GET or HEAD requests on
|
||||
a 301, 302, 303, or 307 HTTP status. It only automatically follows redirections
|
||||
for other HTTP verbs on a 307 HTTP status.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: the 308 HTTP status is not official, and has conflicting proposals for its
|
||||
intended use. It is not supported as a redirection.
|
||||
|
||||
## Hypermedia
|
||||
|
||||
The Git LFS API uses hypermedia hints to instruct the client what to do next.
|
||||
These links are included in a `_links` property. Possible relations for objects
|
||||
include:
|
||||
|
||||
* `self` - This points to the object's canonical API URL.
|
||||
* `download` - Follow this link with a GET and the optional header values to
|
||||
download the object content.
|
||||
* `upload` - Upload the object content to this link with a PUT.
|
||||
* `verify` - Optional link for the client to POST after an upload. If
|
||||
included, the client assumes this step is required after uploading an object.
|
||||
See the "Verification" section below for more.
|
||||
|
||||
Link relations specify the `href`, and optionally a collection of header values
|
||||
to set for the request. These are optional, and depend on the backing object
|
||||
store that the Git LFS API is using.
|
||||
|
||||
The Git LFS client will automatically send the same credentials to the followed
|
||||
link relation as Basic Authentication IF:
|
||||
|
||||
* The url scheme, host, and port all match the Git LFS API endpoint's.
|
||||
* The link relation does not specify an Authorization header.
|
||||
|
||||
If the host name is different, the Git LFS API needs to send enough information
|
||||
through the href query or header values to authenticate the request.
|
||||
|
||||
The Git LFS client expects a 200 or 201 response from these hypermedia requests.
|
||||
Any other response code is treated as an error.
|
||||
|
||||
## GET /objects/{oid}
|
||||
|
||||
This gets the object's meta data. The OID is the value from the object pointer.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
> GET https://git-lfs-server.com/objects/{OID} HTTP/1.1
|
||||
> Accept: application/vnd.git-lfs+json
|
||||
> Authorization: Basic ... (if authentication is needed)
|
||||
>
|
||||
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
|
||||
< Content-Type: application/vnd.git-lfs+json
|
||||
<
|
||||
< {
|
||||
< "oid": "the-sha-256-signature",
|
||||
< "size": 123456,
|
||||
< "_links": {
|
||||
< "self": {
|
||||
< "href": "https://git-lfs-server.com/objects/OID",
|
||||
< },
|
||||
< "download": {
|
||||
< "href": "https://some-download.com",
|
||||
< "header": {
|
||||
< "Key": "value"
|
||||
< }
|
||||
< }
|
||||
< }
|
||||
< }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `oid` and `size` properties are required. A hypermedia `_links` section is
|
||||
included with a `download` link relation. Clients can follow this link to
|
||||
access the object content. See the "Hypermedia" section above for more.
|
||||
|
||||
Here's a sample response for a request with an authorization error:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
> GET https://git-lfs-server.com/objects/{OID} HTTP/1.1
|
||||
> Accept: application/vnd.git-lfs+json
|
||||
> Authorization: Basic ... (if authentication is needed)
|
||||
>
|
||||
< HTTP/1.1 404 Not found
|
||||
< Content-Type: application/vnd.git-lfs+json
|
||||
<
|
||||
< {
|
||||
< "message": "Not found"
|
||||
< }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Responses
|
||||
|
||||
* 200 - The object exists and the user has access to download it.
|
||||
* 401 - The authentication credentials are incorrect.
|
||||
* 404 - The user does not have access to the object, or it does not exist.
|
||||
* 410 - The object used to exist, but was deleted. The message should state why
|
||||
(user initiated, legal issues, etc).
|
||||
|
||||
## POST /objects
|
||||
|
||||
This request initiates the upload of an object, given a JSON body with the oid
|
||||
and size of the object to upload.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
> POST https://git-lfs-server.com/objects HTTP/1.1
|
||||
> Accept: application/vnd.git-lfs+json
|
||||
> Content-Type: application/vnd.git-lfs+json
|
||||
> Authorization: Basic ... (if authentication is needed)
|
||||
>
|
||||
> {
|
||||
> "oid": "1111111",
|
||||
> "size": 123
|
||||
> }
|
||||
>
|
||||
< HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted
|
||||
< Content-Type: application/vnd.git-lfs+json
|
||||
<
|
||||
< {
|
||||
< "_links": {
|
||||
< "upload": {
|
||||
< "href": "https://some-upload.com",
|
||||
< "header": {
|
||||
< "Key": "value"
|
||||
< }
|
||||
< },
|
||||
< "verify": {
|
||||
< "href": "https://some-callback.com",
|
||||
< "header": {
|
||||
< "Key": "value"
|
||||
< }
|
||||
< }
|
||||
< }
|
||||
< }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A response can include one of multiple link relations, each with an `href`
|
||||
property and an optional `header` property.
|
||||
|
||||
* `upload` - This relation describes how to upload the object. Expect this with
|
||||
a 202 status.
|
||||
* `verify` - The server can specify a URL for the client to hit after
|
||||
successfully uploading an object. This is an optional relation for a 202
|
||||
status.
|
||||
* `download` - This relation describes how to download the object content. This
|
||||
only appears on a 200 status.
|
||||
|
||||
### Responses
|
||||
|
||||
* 200 - The object already exists. Don't bother re-uploading.
|
||||
* 202 - The object is ready to be uploaded. Follow the "upload" and optional
|
||||
"verify" links.
|
||||
* 401 - The authentication credentials are incorrect.
|
||||
* 403 - The user has **read**, but not **write** access.
|
||||
* 404 - The repository does not exist for the user.
|
||||
|
||||
## Verification
|
||||
|
||||
When Git LFS clients issue a POST request to initiate an object upload, the
|
||||
response can potentially return a "verify" link relation. If given, The Git LFS
|
||||
API expects a POST to the href after a successful upload. Git LFS clients send:
|
||||
|
||||
* `oid` - The String OID of the Git LFS object.
|
||||
* `size` - The integer size of the Git LFS object, in bytes.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
> POST https://git-lfs-server.com/callback
|
||||
> Accept: application/vnd.git-lfs+json
|
||||
> Content-Type: application/vnd.git-lfs+json
|
||||
> Content-Length: 123
|
||||
>
|
||||
> {"oid": "{oid}", "size": 10000}
|
||||
>
|
||||
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A 200 response means that the object exists on the server.
