How to clone all projects of a group at once in GitLab?

Question

In my GitLab repository, I have a group with 20 projects. I want to clone all projects at once. Is that possible?

Answer 1

Here's an example in Python 3:

from urllib.request import urlopen
import json
import subprocess, shlex

allProjects     = urlopen("http://[yourServer:port]/api/v4/projects?private_token=[yourPrivateTokenFromUserProfile]&per_page=100000")
allProjectsDict = json.loads(allProjects.read().decode())
for thisProject in allProjectsDict: 
    try:
        thisProjectURL  = thisProject['ssh_url_to_repo']
        command     = shlex.split('git clone %s' % thisProjectURL)
        resultCode  = subprocess.Popen(command)

    except Exception as e:
        print("Error on %s: %s" % (thisProjectURL, e.strerror))
