Topics can be used to categorize projects and find similar new projects.

• v4 API:
  • :class:`gitlab.v4.objects.Topic`
  • :class:`gitlab.v4.objects.TopicManager`
  • :attr:`gitlab.Gitlab.topics`
• GitLab API: https://docs.gitlab.com/api/topics

This endpoint requires admin access for creating, updating and deleting objects.

List project topics on the GitLab instance:

topics = gl.topics.list(get_all=True)

Get a specific topic by its ID:

topic = gl.topics.get(topic_id)

Create a new topic:

topic = gl.topics.create({"name": "my-topic", "title": "my title"})

Update a topic:

topic.description = "My new topic"
topic.save()

# or
gl.topics.update(topic_id, {"description": "My new topic"})

Delete a topic:

topic.delete()

# or
gl.topics.delete(topic_id)

Merge a source topic into a target topic:

gl.topics.merge(topic_id, target_topic_id)

Set the avatar image for a topic:

# the avatar image can be passed as data (content of the file) or as a file
# object opened in binary mode
topic.avatar = open('path/to/file.png', 'rb')
topic.save()

Remove the avatar image for a topic:

topic.avatar = ""
topic.save()
