# Resource milestone events API **(FREE)**

> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/31720) in GitLab 13.1.

Resource [milestone](../user/project/milestones/index.md) events keep track of what happens to
GitLab [issues](../user/project/issues/) and [merge requests](../user/project/merge_requests/).

Use them to track which milestone was added or removed, who did it, and when it happened.
