Version API (FREE ALL)

NOTE: We recommend you use the Metadata API instead of the Version API. It contains additional information and is aligned with the GraphQL metadata endpoint. As of GitLab 15.5, the Version API is a mirror of the Metadata API.

Retrieves version information for the GitLab instance. Responds with 200 OK for authenticated users.
