Notes API
Notes are comments on:
- Snippets
- Issues
- Merge requests
- Epics (ULTIMATE)
This includes system notes, which are notes about changes to the object (for example, when an assignee changes, there will be a corresponding system note).
Resource events
- Introduced in GitLab 13.3 for state, milestone, and weight events.
- Introduced in GitLab Starter 13.4 for iteration events.
Some system notes are not part of this API, but are recorded as separate events:
- Resource label events
- Resource state events
- Resource milestone events
- Resource weight events (STARTER)
- Resource iteration events (STARTER)
Notes pagination
By default, GET
requests return 20 results at a time because the API results
are paginated.
Read more on pagination.
