Solved. Use valid request to http://http://somegitlab/api/v1/commits?project_id=yourpojectId&project_token=yourproject token: { "data":{ "before": "c3c39b43f160c2efed5bbc16d15e91eab3c2ec22",<-- not required "after": "5539ffc98f07777b6360e976cbc7a796bb61e315", "ref": "refs/heads/master", "commits": [{ "id": "5539ffc98f07777b6360e976cbc7a796bb61e315", "message": "fixes #1 complete:1 and 3 sum output", <-- not required "timestamp": "2011-12-12T14:27:31+02:00", <-- not required "url": "http://somegitlab/sonmeproject/somecommit", <-- not required "author": { "name": "Kirill Tilkachev", "email": "[email protected]" } } ] } }
