GitLab Releases 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 Releases. 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.

Use this API to manage [releases](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/project/releases/) for a project, list the releases across a group, and manage the asset links attached to a release. Asset links support the `http`, `https`, and `ftp` protocols.
