Discussions API (FREE)

Discussions are a set of related notes on:

Snippets
Issues
Epics
Merge requests
Commits

This includes comments and threads and system notes. System notes are notes about changes to the object (for example, when a milestone changes). Label notes are not part of this API, but recorded as separate events in resource label events.

Discussions pagination

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

curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>"\
  "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/merge_requests/11/discussions"

Get single merge request discussion item

Returns a single discussion item for a specific project merge request

Create new merge request thread

The commit id entry was introduced in GitLab 13.7.

Creates a new thread to a single project merge request. This is similar to creating a note but other comments (replies) can be added to it later.

POST /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/discussions

Parameters for all comments:

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
`id`	integer/string	yes	The ID or URL-encoded path of the project
`merge_request_iid`	integer	yes	The IID of a merge request
`body`	string	yes	The content of the thread
`commit_id`	string	no	SHA referencing commit to start this thread on
`created_at`	string	no	Date time string, ISO 8601 formatted, such as `2016-03-11T03:45:40Z` (requires administrator or project/group owner rights)
`position`	hash	no	Position when creating a diff note
`position[base_sha]`	string	yes	Base commit SHA in the source branch
`position[start_sha]`	string	yes	SHA referencing commit in target branch
`position[head_sha]`	string	yes	SHA referencing HEAD of this merge request
`position[position_type]`	string	yes	Type of the position reference', allowed values: `text` or `image`
`position[new_path]`	string	yes (if the position type is `text`)	File path after change
`position[new_line]`	integer	no	Line number after change (for `text` diff notes)
`position[old_path]`	string	yes (if the position type is `text`)	File path before change
`position[old_line]`	integer	no	Line number before change (for `text` diff notes)
`position[line_range]`	hash	no	Line range for a multi-line diff note
`position[width]`	integer	no	Width of the image (for `image` diff notes)
`position[height]`	integer	no	Height of the image (for `image` diff notes)
`position[x]`	float	no	X coordinate (for `image` diff notes)
`position[y]`	float	no	Y coordinate (for `image` diff notes)

Create a new thread on the overview page

curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>"\
  "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/merge_requests/11/discussions?body=comment"

Create a new thread in the merge request diff

Both position[old_path] and position[new_path] are required and must refer to the file path before and after the change.
To create a thread on an added line (highlighted in green in the merge request diff), use position[new_line] and don't include position[old_line].
To create a thread on a removed line (highlighted in red in the merge request diff), use position[old_line] and don't include position[new_line].
To create a thread on an unchanged line, include both position[new_line] and position[old_line] for the line. These positions might not be the same if earlier changes in the file changed the line number. This is a bug that we plan to fix in GraphQL createDiffNote forces clients to compute redundant information (#325161).
If you specify incorrect base/head/start SHA parameters, you might run into the following bug: Merge request comments receive "download" link instead of inline code (#296829).

To create a new thread:

Get the latest merge request version:

curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>"\
  "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/merge_requests/11/versions"

Note the details of the latest version, which is listed first in the response array.

Create a new diff thread. This example creates a thread on an added line:

curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>"\
  --form 'position[position_type]=text'\
  --form 'position[base_sha]=<use base_commit_sha from the versions response>'\
  --form 'position[head_sha]=<use head_commit_sha from the versions response>'\
  --form 'position[start_sha]=<use start_commit_sha from the versions response>'\
  --form 'position[new_path]=file.js'\
  --form 'position[old_path]=file.js'\
  --form 'position[new_line]=18'\
  --form 'body=test comment body'\
  "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/merge_requests/11/discussions"

Parameters for multiline comments

Parameters for multiline comments only:

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
`position[line_range][start]`	hash	no	Multiline note starting line
`position[line_range][start][line_code]`	string	yes	Line code for the start line
`position[line_range][start][type]`	string	yes	Use `new` for lines added by this commit, otherwise `old`.
`position[line_range][end]`	hash	no	Multiline note ending line
`position[line_range][end][line_code]`	string	yes	Line code for the end line
`position[line_range][end][type]`	string	yes	Use `new` for lines added by this commit, otherwise `old`.

Line code

A line code is of the form <SHA>_<old>_<new>, like this: adc83b19e793491b1c6ea0fd8b46cd9f32e292fc_5_5

<SHA> is the SHA1 hash of the filename.
<old> is the line number before the change.
<new> is the line number after the change.

For example, if a commit (<COMMIT_ID>) deletes line 463 in the README, you can comment on the deletion by referencing line 463 in the old file:

curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: [ACCESS_TOKEN]"\
  --form "note=Very clever to remove this unnecessary line!"\
  --form "path=README" --form "line=463" --form "line_type=old"\
  "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/47/repository/commits/<COMMIT_ID>/comments"

If a commit (<COMMIT_ID>) adds line 157 to hello.rb, you can comment on the addition by referencing line 157 in the new file:

curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: [ACCESS_TOKEN]"\
  --form "note=This is brilliant!" --form "path=hello.rb"\
  --form "line=157" --form "line_type=new"\
  "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/47/repository/commits/<COMMIT_ID>/comments"
