The git repo itself is trivial to migrate (you already have a full copy, just push it somewhere else).

The problems are issues, code comments, pull request discussions, etc, which may be harder, and their API helps here.

Truth be told, an API is an easy way to get app developers to include support for your platform; you aren't going to save yourself from the reality of web scrapers in any case.

The API certainly helps. Our GitLab can import all the things you mention. https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/workflow/importing/import_project...
