# 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
```

Parameters:

- `id` (required) - The ID of a project
- `iid` (optional) - Return the request having the given `iid`
- `state` (optional) - Return `all` requests or just those that are `merged`, `opened` or `closed`
- `order_by` (optional) - Return requests ordered by `created_at` or `updated_at` fields. Default is `created_at`
- `sort` (optional) - Return requests sorted in `asc` or `desc` order. Default is `desc`

If merge request is already merged or closed - you'll get a `406` and the error message 'Method Not Allowed'

If the `sha` parameter is passed and does not match the HEAD of the source - you'll get a `409` and the error message 'SHA does not match HEAD of source branch'

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

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

Parameters:

- `id` (required)                           - The ID of a project
- `merge_request_iid` (required)            - Internal ID of MR
- `merge_commit_message` (optional)         - Custom merge commit message
- `should_remove_source_branch` (optional)  - if `true` removes the source branch

## 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
```
