The format of the URL is:

GET /projects/:id/releases/permalink/latest

To call any other GET API that requires a release tag, append a suffix to the permalink/latest API path.

For example, to get latest release evidence you can use:

GET /projects/:id/releases/permalink/latest/evidence

Another example is downloading an asset of the latest release, for which you can use:

GET /projects/:id/releases/permalink/latest/downloads/bin/asset.exe

Sorting preferences

By default, GitLab fetches the release using released_at time. The use of the query parameter ?order_by=released_at is optional, and support for ?order_by=semver is tracked in issue 352945.

Upcoming Releases

Introduced in GitLab 12.1.

A release with a released_at attribute set to a future date is labeled as an Upcoming Release in the UI.

Additionally, if a release is requested from the API, for each release with a release_at attribute set to a future date, an additional attribute upcoming_release (set to true) is returned as part of the response.

Historical releases

Introduced in GitLab 15.2.

A release with a released_at attribute set to a past date is labeled as an Historical release in the UI.

Additionally, if a release is requested from the API, for each release with a release_at attribute set to a past date, an additional attribute historical_release (set to true) is returned as part of the response.
