# Merge requests API **(FREE)**
> - `author_id`, `author_username`, and `assignee_id` were [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/13060) in GitLab 9.5.
> - `my_reaction_emoji` was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/14016) in GitLab 10.0.
> - For the `scope` attribute, `created-by-me` and `assigned-to-me` were [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/18935) in favor of `created_by_me` and `assigned_to_me` in GitLab 11.0.
> - `with_labels_details` was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/21413) in GitLab 12.7.
> - `author_username` and `author_username` were [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/13060) in GitLab 12.10.
> - `reference` was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/20354) in GitLab 12.10 in favour of `references`.
> - `with_merge_status_recheck` was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/31890) in GitLab 13.0.

Every API call to merge requests must be authenticated.
**Important notes:**
- [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/29984) in GitLab 12.8, the mergeability (`merge_status`)
of each merge request is checked asynchronously when a request is made to this endpoint. Poll this API endpoint
to get updated status. This affects the `has_conflicts` property as it is dependent on the `merge_status`. It returns
`false` unless `merge_status` is `cannot_be_merged`.
- [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/31890) in GitLab 13.0, listing merge requests may
not proactively update `merge_status` (which also affects the `has_conflicts`), as this can be an expensive operation.
If you need the value of these fields from this endpoint, set the `with_merge_status_recheck` parameter to
`true` in the query.
- `references.relative` is relative to the group or project that the merge request is being requested. When the merge request
is fetched from its project, `relative` format would be the same as `short` format, and when requested across groups or projects, it is expected to be the same as `full` format.
- If `approvals_before_merge` is not provided, it inherits the value from the target project. If provided, the following conditions must hold for it to take effect:
- The target project's `approvals_before_merge` must be greater than zero. A
value of zero disables approvals for that project.
- The provided value of `approvals_before_merge` must be greater than the
target project's `approvals_before_merge`.
This API returns `HTTP 201 Created` for a successful response.
- [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/46190) in GitLab 13.6,
diffs associated with the set of changes have the same size limitations applied as other diffs
returned by the API or viewed via the UI. When these limits impact the results, the `overflow`
field contains a value of `true`. Diff data without these limits applied can be retrieved by
adding the `access_raw_diffs` parameter, accessing diffs not from the database but from Gitaly directly.
This approach is generally slower and more resource-intensive, but isn't subject to size limits
placed on database-backed diffs. [Limits inherent to Gitaly](../development/diffs.md#diff-limits)
still apply.
## List merge requests
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/13060) in GitLab 9.5.
Get all merge requests the authenticated user has access to. By
default it returns only merge requests created by the current user. To
get all merge requests, use parameter `scope=all`.
The `state` parameter can be used to get only merge requests with a
given state (`opened`, `closed`, `locked`, or `merged`) or all of them (`all`). It should be noted that when searching by `locked` it mostly returns no results as it is a short-lived, transitional state.
The pagination parameters `page` and `per_page` can be used to
restrict the list of merge requests.
```plaintext
GET /merge_requests
GET /merge_requests?state=opened
GET /merge_requests?state=all
GET /merge_requests?milestone=release
GET /merge_requests?labels=bug,reproduced

GET /merge_requests?author_username=gitlab-bot
GET /merge_requests?my_reaction_emoji=star

## List project 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`, `locked`, or `merged`) or all of them (`all`).
The pagination parameters `page` and `per_page` can be used to restrict the list of merge requests.
```plaintext
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
GET /projects/:id/merge_requests?milestone=release
GET /projects/:id/merge_requests?labels=bug,reproduced
GET /projects/:id/merge_requests?my_reaction_emoji=star
```
`project_id` represents the ID of the project where the MR resides.
`project_id` always equals `target_project_id`.
In the case of a merge request from the same project,
`source_project_id`, `target_project_id` and `project_id`
are the same. In the case of a merge request from a fork,
`target_project_id` and `project_id` are the same and
`source_project_id` is the fork project's ID.

|----------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `unchecked` | We have not checked this yet |
| `checking` | We are currently checking if the merge request can be merged |
| `can_be_merged` | This merge request can be merged without conflict |
| `cannot_be_merged` | There are merge conflicts between the source and target branches |
| `cannot_be_merged_recheck` | Currently unchecked. Before the current changes, there were conflicts |

## Get single MR
Shows information about a single merge request.
**Note**: the `changes_count` value in the response is a string, not an
integer. This is because when an MR has too many changes to display and store,
it is capped at 1,000. In that case, the API returns the string
`"1000+"` for the changes count.
```plaintext
GET /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid

Parameters:
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|----------------------------------|----------------|----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user. |
| `merge_request_iid` | integer | yes | The internal ID of the merge request. |
| `render_html` | integer | no | If `true` response includes rendered HTML for title and description. |
| `include_diverged_commits_count` | boolean | no | If `true` response includes the commits behind the target branch. |
| `include_rebase_in_progress` | boolean | no | If `true` response includes whether a rebase operation is in progress. |

## Create MR Pipeline
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/31722) in GitLab 12.3.
Create a new [pipeline for a merge request](../ci/pipelines/merge_request_pipelines.md).
A pipeline created via this endpoint doesn't run a regular branch/tag pipeline.
It requires `.gitlab-ci.yml` to be configured with `only: [merge_requests]` to create jobs.
The new pipeline can be:
- A detached merge request pipeline.
- A [pipeline for merged results](../ci/pipelines/pipelines_for_merged_results.md)
if the [project setting is enabled](../ci/pipelines/pipelines_for_merged_results.md#enable-pipelines-for-merged-results).
```plaintext
POST /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/pipelines
```
Parameters:
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|----------------------------------|----------------|----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user. |
| `merge_request_iid` | integer | yes | The internal ID of the merge request. |

## Merge to default merge ref path
Merge the changes between the merge request source and target branches into `refs/merge-requests/:iid/merge`
ref, of the target project repository, if possible. This ref has the state the target branch would have if
a regular merge action was taken.
This is not a regular merge action given it doesn't change the merge request target branch state in any manner.
This ref (`refs/merge-requests/:iid/merge`) isn't necessarily overwritten when submitting
requests to this API, though it makes sure the ref has the latest possible state.
If the merge request has conflicts, is empty or already merged, you receive a `400` and a descriptive error message.
It returns the HEAD commit of `refs/merge-requests/:iid/merge` in the response body in case of `200`.
```plaintext
GET /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/merge_ref
```
Parameters:
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|--------------------------------|----------------|----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user. |
| `merge_request_iid` | integer | yes | The internal ID of the merge request. |
```json
{
"commit_id": "854a3a7a17acbcc0bbbea170986df1eb60435f34"
}
```
## Cancel Merge When Pipeline Succeeds
- If you don't have permissions to accept this merge request - you receive a `HTTP 401 Unauthorized`.
- If the merge request is already merged or closed - you receive a `HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed` and the error message 'Method Not Allowed'.
- In case the merge request is not set to be merged when the pipeline succeeds, you also receive a `HTTP 406 Not Acceptable` error.
```plaintext
POST /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/cancel_merge_when_pipeline_succeeds
```
Parameters:
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|--------------------------------|----------------|----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user. |
| `merge_request_iid` | integer | yes | The internal ID of the merge request. |

## Rebase a merge request
Automatically rebase the `source_branch` of the merge request against its
`target_branch`.
If you don't have permissions to push to the merge request's source branch -
you receive a `403 Forbidden` response.
```plaintext
PUT /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/rebase
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user. |
| `merge_request_iid` | integer | yes | The internal ID of the merge request. |
| `skip_ci` | boolean | no | Set to `true` to skip creating a CI pipeline. |
```shell
curl --request PUT --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/76/merge_requests/1/rebase"
```
This is an asynchronous request. The API returns a `HTTP 202 Accepted` response
if the request is enqueued successfully, with a response containing:
```json
{
"rebase_in_progress": true
}
```
You can poll the [Get single MR](#get-single-mr) endpoint with the
`include_rebase_in_progress` parameter to check the status of the
asynchronous request.
If the rebase operation is ongoing, the response includes the following:
```json
{
"rebase_in_progress": true,
"merge_error": null
}
```
After the rebase operation has completed successfully, the response includes
the following:
```json
{
"rebase_in_progress": false,
"merge_error": null
}
```
If the rebase operation fails, the response includes the following:
```json
{
"rebase_in_progress": false,
"merge_error": "Rebase failed. Please rebase locally"
}
```
## Comments on merge requests
Comments are done via the [notes](notes.md) resource.
## List issues that close on merge
Get all the issues that would be closed by merging the provided merge request.
```plaintext
GET /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/closes_issues
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user. |
| `merge_request_iid` | integer | yes | The internal ID of the merge request. |
```shell
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/76/merge_requests/1/closes_issues"
