How do I get all files (paths) of a specific commit from gitlab api?

Question

I want to load the file contents from the gitlab api using a specific tag.

This can be achieved by using the blob for each file (https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/repository_files.html).

The problem I am facing is that I do not see the way to find out what file paths are available for a given commit (a tag in my case).

I am looking for something similar to github's tree object.

How do I get all the files and their respective paths with a given commit hash from the gitlab api to load their contents?

Thanks :)

You can get a list of repository files and directories in a project by calling this API:

GET /projects/:id/repository/tree

See here for more information such as optional parameters.

The way I understand this only shows the latest commit? I am looking for a way to get this tree for a given commit. – Markus Dec 23 '20 at 07:51

There is a parameter called `ref`, you can fill it with branch name or tag or commit hash. – Mostafa Fakhraei Dec 23 '20 at 08:20

Did you try GetDiff?

A bit slow, hence if brings the diff text itself as well, but it works.
