## Approve Merge Request
2020-01-16 18:08:46 +00:00
> Introduced in [GitLab Starter](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 8.9.
2019-08-30 06:35:13 +00:00
If you are allowed to, you can approve a merge request using the following
endpoint:
```
POST /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/approve
```
**Parameters:**
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|---------------------|---------|----------|-------------------------|
| `id` | integer | yes | The ID of a project |
| `merge_request_iid` | integer | yes | The IID of MR |
| `sha` | string | no | The HEAD of the MR |
| `approval_password` ** (STARTER)** | string | no | Current user's password. Required if [**Require user password to approve** ](../user/project/merge_requests/merge_request_approvals.md#require-authentication-when-approving-a-merge-request-starter ) is enabled in the project settings. |
The `sha` parameter works in the same way as
when [accepting a merge request ](merge_requests.md#accept-mr ): if it is passed, then it must
match the current HEAD of the merge request for the approval to be added. If it
does not match, the response code will be `409` .
