# Epics API **[ULTIMATE]**
|
|
|
|
Every API call to epic must be authenticated.
|
|
|
|
If a user is not a member of a group and the group is private, a `GET` request on that group will result to a `404` status code.
|
|
|
|
If epics feature is not available a `403` status code will be returned.
|
|
|
|
## Epic issues API
|
|
|
|
The [epic issues API](epic_issues.md) allows you to interact with issues associated with an epic.
|
|
|
|
# Milestone dates integration
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced][ee-6448] in GitLab 11.3.
|
|
|
|
Since start date and due date can be dynamically sourced from related issue milestones, when user has edit permission, additional fields will be shown. These include two boolean fields `start_date_is_fixed` and `due_date_is_fixed`, and four date fields `start_date_fixed`, `start_date_from_milestones`, `due_date_fixed` and `due_date_from_milestones`.
|
|
|
|
`end_date` has been deprecated in favor of `due_date`.
|
|
|
|
## Epics pagination
|
|
|
|
By default, `GET` requests return 20 results at a time because the API results
|
|
are paginated.
|
|
|
|
Read more on [pagination](README.md#pagination).
|
|
|
