How do I get gitlab api to list the releases for my project?

Question

curl command...

> curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: my-private-token"
> "https://gitlab.com/gitlab-user-name/api/v4/projects/my-project-id/releases"

response...

You are being redirected.

I am sure it is the wrong url but not sure how to correct it...

gitlab docs example bellow..

> curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: gDybLx3yrUK_HLp3qPjS"
> "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/24/releases"

gitlab doc for this...

https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/api/releases/index.html#list-releases

does the token have right scopes ("api") or at least "read_api"? — Anna Slastnikova, Aug 10 '20 at 10:48
yes for testing purposes I ticked the api box, which I believe allows all api access. — user3755946, Aug 10 '20 at 10:54
Why is there `gitlab-user-name` in your curl command when there isn't that in the gitlab example? — Rekovni, Aug 10 '20 at 11:18
the exact example does not work, I believe gitlab.example.com is where you put your specific url. — user3755946, Aug 10 '20 at 11:22
that would be my git lab username or your git lab username for your account. — user3755946, Aug 10 '20 at 11:25

The “you’re being redirected” message means it’s an authentication/authorization issue, not a problem with the uri or project.

Double check your access token has the correct scopes, isn’t revoked or expired, and that the user who owns the token has access to the project.
