I know that its possible to log into gitlab with external providers such as github but I was wondering if it can be used to authenticate users from my application.
Is there an oauth endpoint that I can use.

It should be possible since the suggestion "Oauth system for third party application" seems completed with GitLab 7.7 (which is to be released)
It would be powerful to have an oauth authentication system with application management like Github.
If this feature appear on Gitlab, developers would be able to create many third party applications like Travis-CI or Scrutinizer who can Interact directly with a "Gitlab Connect" system, same as Github or Bitbucket.
We should manage authorization scope too (profile view / edit, group access, projects access etc...).

Completed In GitLab 7.7

No, it is not. Currently the only supported scope is api
which gives the authentication client full access to everything in the user's name. See https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/22323 to track progress.
