  title: Gitee Open API v5 (core subset) Enterprises Repositories 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.'

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Gitee Repositories API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
