  title: Gitee Open API v5 (core subset) Enterprises Gists API
  description: 'A curated, representative subset of the Gitee (码云) Open API v5, the documented REST API of the China-based Git hosting and DevOps platform operated by OSChina / Shenzhen Oschina (开源中国). Every path in this document is grounded in Gitee''s live Swagger definition at https://gitee.com/api/v5/swagger_doc.json (Gitee Open API version 5.4.92 as observed on 2026-07-12); the authoritative, complete machine-readable spec (175 paths / 264 operations across Repositories, Issues, Pull Requests, Users, Organizations, Gists, Enterprises, Webhooks, Labels, Milestones, Activity, Git Data, Search, and more) lives there. This subset captures the core representative operations per resource group. Requests authenticate with a personal access token supplied either as an `access_token` query parameter or an `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header, or via OAuth2. English endpoint summaries below are translated from the Chinese summaries in the source spec.'
