curl --silent --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: $GITLAB_PRIVATE_TOKEN"  "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/28402932/pipelines"
# has a field called "status"

• List of jobs:

curl --silent --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: $GITLAB_PRIVATE_TOKEN"  "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/28402932/jobs"

# has a section called "pipeline"

There is an envrionment variable in the GitLab pipelines called $CI_JOB_TOKEN and it can be used for some things but it is very limited in rights. AFAIK Project level access tokens are only available to paying customer https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/settings/project_access_tokens.html So I am using Personal Access Tokens stored as a secret.

• Go to Settings/CICD/Variables/Add Variable called GITLAB_PRIVATE_TOKEN
