If only your private token is available, you can only use the API:

PROJECTS

Use the following command to request projects:

curl "https://<host>/api/v4/projects?private_token=<your private token>"

This will return you the first 20 entries. To get more you can add the paramater per_page

curl "https://<host>/api/v4/projects?private_token=<your private token>&per_page=100"

with this parameter you can request between 20and 100 entries (see REST API Pagination documentation).

If you now want all projects, you have to loop through the pages. To get to another page add the parameter page.

curl "https://<host>/api/v4/projects?private_token=<your private token>&per_page=100&page=<page_number>"

Now you may want to know how many pages there are. For that, add the curl parameter --head. This will not return the payload, but the header.

The result should look like this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx
Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2017 17:43:24 GMT
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 29428
Cache-Control: no-cache
Link: <request link>
Vary: Origin
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
X-Next-Page: 2
X-Page: 1
X-Per-Page: 20
X-Prev-Page:
X-Request-Id: 80ecc167-4f3f-4c99-b09d-261e240e7fe9
X-Runtime: 4.117558
X-Total: 312257
X-Total-Pages: 15613
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000

The two interesting parts here are X-Totaland X-Total-Pages. The first is the count of available entries and the second the count of total pages.

I suggest to use python or some other kind of script to handle the requests and concat the results at the end.

If you want to refine the search, consult this wiki page: https://docs.gitlab.com/api/projects.html#projects-api

GROUPS

For groups simply replace projects with groups in the curls. https://docs.gitlab.com/api/groups.html#list-groups

UPDATE:

Here is the official list of Gitlab API clients/wrappers: https://docs.gitlab.com/api/rest/third_party_clients/

I highly recommend using one of these.

I just found out an even easier way to get the project id: just see the HTML content of the gitlab page hosting your project. There is an input with a field called project_id, e.g:

<input type="hidden" name="project_id" id="project_id" value="335" />

Python solution Very useful information about gitlab api.

python-gitlab.readthedocs.io

import gitlab
# private token or personal token authentication
gl = gitlab.Gitlab('https://gitlab.company.be', private_token='dklsfjksldjfkdsjf', api_version=4)
gl.auth()

project = gl.projects.get('path/to/project')
items = project.repository_tree()

print(items)
