This plugin aims to provide a connection between confluence and a GitLab server. It enables macros to view issues, builds, merge requests and project information.
GitLab connection configuration
Before you can start to use the macros, make sure the credentials inserted correctly in the admin panel (as seen below)
The credentials are the url of the server. The server has to be reachable from the confluence server, in order to make the macros work properly.
The private api key can be generated on the GitLab server (there it is called personal access token). You can find it under Profile Settings (click on your avatar icon on the right) → Access Tokens.
At this place you can generate a unique access token for the GitLab Api Connector plugin. Be aware that the personal access token is only shown once after the creation.
Although you could also use the private token which can be found under account, consider using an access token created as described above, but for older versions of GitLab (before version 8.8), this might be
an alternatives, as there you cannot create an access token.
