Merge branch 'doc/ci-api-update' into 'master'

Deprecated GitLab CI API clean up

Deprecated GitLab CI API clean up.

The intent here is to clean up deprecated GitLab CI documentation leaving only relevant information.
Since we merged `Ci::Project` to `Project` most of this documentation is outdated.

Closes #13610

# GitLab CI API # GitLab CI API
## Resources ## Purpose
- [Projects](projects.md)
- [Runners](runners.md)
- [Commits](commits.md)
- [Builds](builds.md)
## Authentication
GitLab CI API uses different types of authentication depends on what API you use.
Each API document has section with information about authentication you need to use.
GitLab CI API has 4 authentication methods:
* GitLab user token & GitLab url
* GitLab CI project token
* GitLab CI runners registration token
* GitLab CI runner token
### Authentication #1: GitLab user token & GitLab url
Authentication is done by
sending the `private-token` of a valid user and the `url` of an
authorized GitLab instance via a query string along with the API
request:
GET http://gitlab.example.com/ci/api/v1/projects?private_token=QVy1PB7sTxfy4pqfZM1U&url=http://demo.gitlab.com/
If preferred, you may instead send the `private-token` as a header in Main purpose of GitLab CI API is to provide necessary data and context for
your request: GitLab CI Runners.
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: QVy1PB7sTxfy4pqfZM1U" "http://gitlab.example.com/ci/api/v1/projects?url=http://demo.gitlab.com/" For consumer API take a look at this [documentation](../../api/README.md) where
you will find all relevant information.
## API Prefix
### Authentication #2: GitLab CI project token Current CI API prefix is `/ci/api/v1`.
Each project in GitLab CI has it own token. You need to prepend this prefix to all examples in this documentation, like:
It can be used to get project commits and builds information.
You can use project token only for certain project.
### Authentication #3: GitLab CI runners registration token GET /ci/api/v1/builds/:id/artifacts
This token is not persisted and is generated on each application start. ## Resources
It can be used only for registering new runners in system. You can find it on
GitLab CI Runners web page https://gitlab-ci.example.com/admin/runners
### Authentication #4: GitLab CI runner token
Every GitLab CI runner has it own token that allow it to receive and update
GitLab CI builds. This token exists of internal purposes and should be used only
by runners
## JSON
All API requests are serialized using JSON. You don't need to specify
`.json` at the end of API URL.
## Status codes
The API is designed to return different status codes according to context and action. In this way if a request results in an error the caller is able to get insight into what went wrong, e.g. status code `400 Bad Request` is returned if a required attribute is missing from the request. The following list gives an overview of how the API functions generally behave.
API request types:
- `GET` requests access one or more resources and return the result as JSON
- `POST` requests return `201 Created` if the resource is successfully created and return the newly created resource as JSON
- `GET`, `PUT` and `DELETE` return `200 OK` if the resource is accessed, modified or deleted successfully, the (modified) result is returned as JSON
- `DELETE` requests are designed to be idempotent, meaning a request a resource still returns `200 OK` even it was deleted before or is not available. The reasoning behind it is the user is not really interested if the resource existed before or not.
The following list shows the possible return codes for API requests.
Return values:
- `200 OK` - The `GET`, `PUT` or `DELETE` request was successful, the resource(s) itself is returned as JSON - [Builds](builds.md)
- `201 Created` - The `POST` request was successful and the resource is returned as JSON - [Runners](runners.md)
- `400 Bad Request` - A required attribute of the API request is missing, e.g. the title of an issue is not given
- `401 Unauthorized` - The user is not authenticated, a valid user token is necessary, see above
- `403 Forbidden` - The request is not allowed, e.g. the user is not allowed to delete a project
- `404 Not Found` - A resource could not be accessed, e.g. an ID for a resource could not be found
- `405 Method Not Allowed` - The request is not supported
- `409 Conflict` - A conflicting resource already exists, e.g. creating a project with a name that already exists
- `422 Unprocessable` - The entity could not be processed
- `500 Server Error` - While handling the request something went wrong on the server side
# Builds API # Builds API
This API used by runners to receive and update builds. API used by runners to receive and update builds.
__Authentication is done by runner token__ _**Note:** This API is intended to be used only by Runners as their own
communication channel. For the consumer API see the
[Builds API](../../api/builds.md)._
## Authentication
This API uses two types of authentication:
1. Unique runner's token
Token assigned to runner after it has been registered.
2. Using build authorization token
This is project's CI token that can be found in Continuous Integration
project settings.
Build authorization token can be passed as a parameter or a value of
`BUILD-TOKEN` header. This method are interchangeable.

"id" : 86,
"token" : "76bf894e969364709864"
},
]
```
### Register a new runner There are two types of tokens you can pass - shared runner registration
token or project specific registration token.
## Runners
