# Merge requests API

Every API call to merge requests must be authenticated.

## List merge requests

> [Introduced][ce-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`, or `merged`) or all of them (`all`).
The pagination parameters `page` and `per_page` can be used to
restrict the list of merge requests.

**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 will be capped at 1,000. In that case, the API will return the string
`"1000+"` for the changes count.

## 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`, or `merged`) or all of them (`all`).
The pagination parameters `page` and `per_page` can be used to restrict the list of merge requests.

```
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` will always equal `target_project_id`.

In the case of a merge request from the same project,
`source_project_id`, `target_project_id` and `project_id`
will be the same. In the case of a merge request from a fork,
`target_project_id` and `project_id` will be the same and
`source_project_id` will be the fork project's ID.

**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 will be capped at 1,000. In that case, the API will return the string
`"1000+"` for the changes count.

If merge request is already merged or closed - you'll get a `406` and the error message 'Method Not Allowed'

If the `sha` parameter is passed and does not match the HEAD of the source - you'll get a `409` and the error message 'SHA does not match HEAD of source branch'

If you don't have permissions to accept this merge request - you'll get a `401`

```
PUT /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/merge
```

Parameters:

- `id` (required) - The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user
- `merge_request_iid` (required)            - Internal ID of MR
- `merge_commit_message` (optional)         - Custom merge commit message
- `should_remove_source_branch` (optional)  - if `true` removes the source branch
