GitLab Packages: Debian API is one of 189 APIs that [GitLab](https://apis.io/providers/gitlab/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification and an AsyncAPI event-driven specification. This API exposes 16 JSON Schema definitions. Tagged areas include Packages: Debian. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, authentication docs, an API reference, rate-limit docs, an AsyncAPI specification, and 16 JSON Schemas.

> [!warning] > These endpoints are under development and are not ready for production use due to limited > functionality. The package endpoints are used by Debian package clients such as > [dput](https://manpages.debian.org/stable/dput-ng/dput.1.en.html) and > [apt-get](https://manpages.debian.org/stable/apt/apt-get.8.en.html), and are generally not meant > for manual consumption. Use this API to manage [Debian distributions](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/packages/debian_repository/) for groups and projects, and to publish and retrieve Debian packages. The distribution endpoints are behind a feature flag that is disabled by default. To use them, enable the [group](https://docs.gitlab.com/api/packages/debian_group_distributions/#enable-the-debian-group-api) or [project](https://docs.gitlab.com/api/packages/debian_project_distributions/#enable-the-debian-api) Debian API. > [!note] > These endpoints do not adhere to the standard API authentication methods. For the supported headers > and token types, see the [Debian registry documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/packages/debian_repository/). > Undocumented authentication methods might be removed in the future.
