download directory from a branch using Gitlab API v4

问题

I am trying to download a directory inside of a 'release' branch of a repository from Gitlab. I am using API v4.

The branch includes is of the below structure:

- archive
  - outputs
    - history-2020-01-01T142535 
    - history-2020-01-15T142559
    - history-2020-02-01T142540

I want to get the "history-2020-02-01T142540" directory.

I can get a ZIP archive of the entire branch...

https://<GITLAB_URL>/api/v4/projects/<PROJECT_ID>/repository/archive.zip?sha=<BRANCH_ID>

How do I get a ZIP archive of only a specific folder within that branch?

回答1:

You can't get an archive for a specific file or folder.

But you can do something similar which might help you:

• Get file from repository

• List repository tree
