How can I get the CI/CD variables defined for a project's pipeline execution

#1

There is a web service that does provide me all the variables defined for a project’s CI/CD.

curl --header “PRIVATE-TOKEN: 9koXpg98eAheJpvBs5tK” “https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/variables”

However , if I have multiple users sharing the same project or if pipeline takes a while to complete and multiple executions are kicked off at the same time, I have no idea what were the exact variables that were defined for that pipeline.

Is there a way to get that information? Ideally I was hoping all the variables would be stored somewhere for every Pipeline execution, but I couldn’t see them even in the ci_pipeline_variables table either:(

Does anyone know?

Does no one know how to get the variables used to kick off an old pipeline?

You could take the job and pipeline ID. Does it fit your request?

Hi Marco, Thank you.
Is this what you are talking about. Do we know when this was introduced as I can’t find it in my install which is at Community edition 11.6.3 .

https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/api/pipelines.html#get-variables-of-a-pipeline

This APi works for a project 1, pipeline 46

curl --header “PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>” “https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/pipelines/46”

However the variables doesn’t work. Maybe this API is not available in my current release. any idea how to tell , when this was released

curl --header “PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>” “https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/pipelines/46/variables”
