When I try to create new token with GitLab API like this:

curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: glpat-" --data "name=test-token-short-ttl" --data "scopes[]=read_repository" --data "expires_at=2025-08-06" --url "https://gitlab.example.ru/api/v4/user/personal_access_tokens"

I got the error

"error":"scopes does not have a valid value"}

But in documentation this scope is valid

That call will create a personal access token for your account, and to quote the documentation:

Creates a personal access token for your account. For security purposes, the token:

  • Is limited to the k8s_proxy scope. This scope grants permission to perform Kubernetes API calls using the agent for Kubernetes.

You can use the API with admin credetials to create an access for a given user with the read_repository scope - note the useage of the /users/:user_id API instead of the /user API:

curl --request POST \
     --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: glpat-" \
     --data "name=test-token-short-ttl" \
     --data "scopes[]=read_repository" \
     --data "expires_at=2025-08-06" \
     --url "https://gitlab.example.ru/api/v4/users/42/personal_access_tokens"
# the user ID -------------------------------------^
