# Merge requests

## List merge requests

Get all merge requests for this project.
The `state` parameter can be used to get only merge requests with a given state (`opened`, `closed`, or `merged`) or all of them (`all`).
The pagination parameters `page` and `per_page` can be used to restrict the list of merge requests.

```
GET /projects/:id/merge_requests
GET /projects/:id/merge_requests?state=opened
GET /projects/:id/merge_requests?state=all
GET /projects/:id/merge_requests?iids[]=42&iids[]=43
GET /projects/:id/merge_requests?milestone=release
GET /projects/:id/merge_requests?labels=bug,reproduced
```

Parameters:

| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id` | integer | yes | The ID of a project |
| `iids` | Array[integer] | no | Return the request having the given `iid` |
| `state`   | string  | no    | Return all merge requests or just those that are `opened`, `closed`, or `merged`|
| `order_by`| string  | no    | Return requests ordered by `created_at` or `updated_at` fields. Default is `created_at` |
| `sort`    | string  | no    | Return requests sorted in `asc` or `desc` order. Default is `desc`  |
| `milestone`  | string  | no | Return merge requests for a specific milestone |
| `labels`  | string  | no | Return merge requests matching a comma separated list of labels |

```
PUT /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/merge
```

Parameters:

- `id` (required) - The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user
- `merge_request_iid` (required)            - Internal ID of MR

## Cancel Merge When Pipeline Succeeds

If you don't have permissions to accept this merge request - you'll get a `401`

If the merge request is already merged or closed - you get `405` and error message 'Method Not Allowed'

In case the merge request is not set to be merged when the pipeline succeeds, you'll also get a `406` error.
```
PUT /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/cancel_merge_when_pipeline_succeeds
```
Parameters:

- `id` (required) - The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user
- `merge_request_iid` (required)            - Internal ID of MR
