GitLab API /api/v4/projects/{id}/managed_licenses* endpoint removal

Stopped workingSubscribe to GitLab APIShare

On May 22, 2023, GitLab removed the /api/v4/projects/{id}/managed_licenses* endpoints. Calls to these paths now fail. This removal followed an earlier deprecation announcing that the API was scheduled for removal in GitLab 16.0.


Calls it hits

  • /api/v4/projects/{id}/managed_licenses*

What to use instead of these calls

Enforce license approvals with a License Approval policy (security policies) instead. No REST endpoint replaces it, meaning the migration requires moving approval workflows rather than updating an identifier.

No REST endpoint replaces it: license approvals move to License Approval policies.

In GitLab API's words

The Managed Licenses API is now deprecated and is scheduled for removal in GitLab 16.0.
