# Go Proxy API
This is the API documentation for [Go Packages](../../user/packages/go_proxy/index.md).
This API is behind a feature flag that is disabled by default. GitLab administrators with access to
the GitLab Rails console can [enable](../../administration/feature_flags.md)
this API for your GitLab instance.
WARNING:
This API is used by the [Go client](https://maven.apache.org/)
and is generally not meant for manual consumption.
For instructions on how to work with the Go Proxy, see the [Go Proxy package documentation](../../user/packages/go_proxy/index.md).
NOTE:
These endpoints do not adhere to the standard API authentication methods.
See the [Go Proxy package documentation](../../user/packages/go_proxy/index.md)
for details on which headers and token types are supported.
