# Pipeline trigger tokens API
DETAILS:
**Tier:** Free, Premium, Ultimate
**Offering:** GitLab.com, Self-managed, GitLab Dedicated
You can read more about [triggering pipelines through the API](../ci/triggers/index.md).
## List project trigger tokens
Get a list of a project's pipeline trigger tokens.
```plaintext
GET /projects/:id/triggers
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------------|----------|-------------|
| `id` | integer/string | Yes | ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](rest/index.md#namespaced-paths) |
```shell
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/triggers"
```
```json
[
{
"id": 10,
"description": "my trigger",
"created_at": "2016-01-07T09:53:58.235Z",
"last_used": null,
"token": "6d056f63e50fe6f8c5f8f4aa10edb7",
"updated_at": "2016-01-07T09:53:58.235Z",
"owner": null
}
]
```
The trigger token is displayed in full if the trigger token was created by the authenticated
user. Trigger tokens created by other users are shortened to four characters.
## Get trigger token details
Get details of a project's pipeline trigger token.
```plaintext
GET /projects/:id/triggers/:trigger_id
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|--------------|----------------|----------|-------------|
| `id` | integer/string | Yes | ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](rest/index.md#namespaced-paths) |
| `trigger_id` | integer | Yes | The trigger ID |
```shell
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/triggers/5"
```
```json
{
"id": 10,
"description": "my trigger",
"created_at": "2016-01-07T09:53:58.235Z",
"last_used": null,
"token": "6d056f63e50fe6f8c5f8f4aa10edb7",
"updated_at": "2016-01-07T09:53:58.235Z",

--form description="my description" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/triggers"
```
```json
{
"id": 10,
"description": "my trigger",
"created_at": "2016-01-07T09:53:58.235Z",

"updated_at": "2016-01-07T09:53:58.235Z",
"owner": null
}
```
## Update a pipeline trigger token

```plaintext
PUT /projects/:id/triggers/:trigger_id
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|---------------|----------------|----------|-------------|
| `id` | integer/string | Yes | ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](rest/index.md#namespaced-paths) |

| `description` | string | No | The trigger name |
```shell
curl --request PUT --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" \
--form description="my description" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/triggers/10"
```
```json
{
"id": 10,
"description": "my trigger",
"created_at": "2016-01-07T09:53:58.235Z",
"last_used": null,
"token": "6d056f63e50fe6f8c5f8f4aa10edb7",
"updated_at": "2016-01-07T09:53:58.235Z",
"owner": null
}
```
## Remove a pipeline trigger token
Remove a project's pipeline trigger token.
```plaintext
DELETE /projects/:id/triggers/:trigger_id
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|--------------|----------------|----------|-------------|
| `id` | integer/string | Yes | ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](rest/index.md#namespaced-paths) |
| `trigger_id` | integer | Yes | The trigger ID |
```shell
curl --request DELETE --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/triggers/5"
```
## Trigger a pipeline with a token
Trigger a pipeline by using a [pipeline trigger token](../ci/triggers/index.md#create-a-pipeline-trigger-token)
or a [CI/CD job token](../ci/jobs/ci_job_token.md) for authentication.
With a CI/CD job token, the [triggered pipeline is a multi-project pipeline](../ci/pipelines/downstream_pipelines.md#trigger-a-multi-project-pipeline-by-using-the-api).
The job that authenticates the request becomes associated with the upstream pipeline,
which is visible on the pipeline graph.
If you use a trigger token in a job, the job is not associated with the upstream pipeline.
```plaintext
POST /projects/:id/trigger/pipeline
```
Supported attributes:
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|-------------|----------------|----------|-------------|
| `id` | integer/string | Yes | ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](rest/index.md#namespaced-paths). |
| `ref` | string | Yes | The branch or tag to run the pipeline on. |
| `token` | string | Yes | The trigger token or CI/CD job token. |
| `variables` | hash | No | A map of key-valued strings containing the pipeline variables. For example: `{ VAR1: "value1", VAR2: "value2" }`. |
Example request:
```shell
curl --request POST --form "variables[VAR1]=value1" --form "variables[VAR2]=value2" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/123/trigger/pipeline?token=2cb1840fb9dfc9fb0b7b1609cd29cb&ref=main"
```
