If you are using GitLab for your website or project repository, and you have your pipeline setup via .gitlab-ci.yml
, then you can use Apito's API management platform webhooks
to auto trigger GitLab CI pipeline whenever your database API data changes through our instant API builder.
First go to your project Settings
> CI/CD
and click on Pipeline triggers
and create a trigger.
A Gitlab Pipeline trigger url looks like this,
https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/<project_id>/trigger/pipeline?token=<token>&ref=<ref_name>
You have to replace:
<token>
with your trigger token.<ref_name>
with a branch or tag name, like main
or master
.<project_id>
with your project ID, like 123456
. The project ID is displayed at the top of every project’s landing page.Finally, add a webhook in the Apito Console using the URL that you have built. Our build API tool makes it easy to create webhooks that integrate with GitLab. To create a webhook you have to go to Settings
in Apito Console then Webhooks
from the left
navigation bar and click Create a Webhook
You have to fill in:
Name
Name of the webhooksModel

to create your trigger hook. Now each time your model updates, in this example page

in the request body as json.
