# Issues API

If a user is not a member of a project and the project is private, a `GET`
request on that project will result in a `404` status code.

## Issues pagination

By default, `GET` requests return 20 results at a time because the API results
are paginated.

Read more on [pagination](README.md#pagination).

CAUTION: **Deprecation:**
> `reference` attribute in response is deprecated in favour of `references`.
> Introduced [GitLab 12.6](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/20354)

NOTE: **Note:**
> `references.relative` is relative to the group / project that the issue is being requested. When issue is fetched from its project
> `relative` format would be the same as `short` format and when requested across groups / projects it is expected to be the same as `full` format.

## List issues

Get all issues the authenticated user has access to. By default it
returns only issues created by the current user. To get all issues,
use parameter `scope=all`.

Users on GitLab [Starter, Bronze, or higher](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) will also see
the `weight` parameter:

```json
[
   {
      "state" : "opened",
      "description" : "Ratione dolores corrupti mollitia soluta quia.",
      "weight": null,
      ...
   }
]
```

Users on GitLab [Ultimate](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) will also see
the `health_status` parameter:

```json
[
   {
      "state" : "opened",
      "description" : "Ratione dolores corrupti mollitia soluta quia.",
      "health_status": "on_track",
      ...
   }
]
```

**Note**: `assignee` column is deprecated, now we show it as a single-sized array `assignees` to conform to the GitLab EE API.

**Note**: The `closed_by` attribute was [introduced in GitLab 10.6](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/17042). This value will only be present for issues which were closed after GitLab 10.6 and when the user account that closed the issue still exists.

## List group issues

Get a list of a group's issues.

If the group is private, credentials will need to be provided for authorization.
The preferred way to do this, is by using [personal access tokens](../user/profile/personal_access_tokens.md).

```plaintext
GET /groups/:id/issues
GET /groups/:id/issues?state=opened
GET /groups/:id/issues?state=closed
GET /groups/:id/issues?labels=foo

**Note**: `assignee` column is deprecated, now we show it as a single-sized array `assignees` to conform to the GitLab EE API.

**Note**: The `closed_by` attribute was [introduced in GitLab 10.6](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/17042). This value will only be present for issues which were closed after GitLab 10.6 and when the user account that closed the issue still exists.

**Note**: The `epic_iid` attribute is deprecated and [will be removed in version 5](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/35157).
Please use `iid` of the `epic` attribute instead.

## Move an issue

Moves an issue to a different project. If the target project
equals the source project or the user has insufficient permissions to move an
issue, error `400` together with an explaining error message is returned.

If a given label and/or milestone with the same name also exists in the target
project, it will then be assigned to the issue that is being moved.

## List merge requests that will close issue on merge

Get all the merge requests that will close issue when merged.

If the project is private or the issue is confidential, credentials will need to be provided for authorization.
The preferred way to do this, is by using [personal access tokens](../user/profile/personal_access_tokens.md).

```plaintext
GET /projects/:id/issues/:issue_iid/closed_by
```

| Attribute   | Type    | Required | Description                          |

| `id`        | integer | yes      | The ID of a project                  |
| `issue_iid` | integer | yes      | The internal ID of a project issue   |
