# 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`, `locked`, or `merged`) or all of them (`all`). It should be noted that when searching by `locked` it will mostly return 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.

```
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_id=5
GET /merge_requests?my_reaction_emoji=star
GET /merge_requests?scope=assigned_to_me
GET /merge_requests?search=foo&in=title
```

## 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.

```
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.

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.

```
GET /groups/:id/merge_requests
GET /groups/:id/merge_requests?state=opened
GET /groups/:id/merge_requests?state=all
GET /groups/:id/merge_requests?milestone=release
GET /groups/:id/merge_requests?labels=bug,reproduced
GET /groups/:id/merge_requests?my_reaction_emoji=star
```

`group_id` represents the ID of the group which contains the project where the MR resides.

Parameters:

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

```
GET /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid
```

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) - The internal ID of the merge request
- `render_html` (optional) - If `true` response includes rendered HTML for title and description
- `include_diverged_commits_count` (optional) - If `true` response includes the commits behind the target branch
- `include_rebase_in_progress` (optional) - If `true` response includes whether a rebase operation is in progress

## List MR pipelines

> [Introduced][ce-15454] in GitLab 10.5.0.

Get a list of merge request pipelines.

```
GET /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/pipelines
```

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) - The internal ID of the merge request

```json
[
  {
    "id": 77,
    "sha": "959e04d7c7a30600c894bd3c0cd0e1ce7f42c11d",
    "ref": "master",
    "status": "success"
  }
]
```

## Create MR Pipeline

> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/31722) in Gitlab 12.3.

Create a new [pipeline for a merge request](../ci/merge_request_pipelines/index.md). A pipeline created via this endpoint will not 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/merge_request_pipelines/pipelines_for_merged_results/index.md)
  if the [project setting is enabled](../ci/merge_request_pipelines/pipelines_for_merged_results/index.md#enabling-pipelines-for-merged-results).

```
POST /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/pipelines
```

Parameters:

- `id` (required) - The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding)
- `merge_request_iid` (required) - The internal ID of the merge request

```json

If `approvals_before_merge` **(STARTER)** is not provided, it inherits the value from the
target project. If it is provided, then the following conditions must hold in
order for it to take effect:

1. The target project's `approvals_before_merge` must be greater than zero. A
   value of zero disables approvals for that project.
1. The provided value of `approvals_before_merge` must be greater than the
   target project's `approvals_before_merge`.

```

## Accept MR

Merge changes submitted with MR using this API.

If merge request is unable to be accepted (ie: Work in Progress, Closed, Pipeline Pending Completion, or Failed while requiring Success) - you'll get a `405` and the error message 'Method Not Allowed'

If it has some conflicts and can not be merged - you'll get a `406` and the error message 'Branch cannot be merged'

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 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 will have 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'll make sure the ref has the latest possible state.

If the merge request has conflicts, is empty or already merged, you'll get 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`.

```
GET /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/merge_ref
```

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

```json
{
  "commit_id": "854a3a7a17acbcc0bbbea170986df1eb60435f34"
}
```

## Cancel Merge When Pipeline Succeeds

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

If the merge request is already merged or closed - you get `405` and error message 'Method Not Allowed'

In case the merge request is not set to be merged when the pipeline succeeds, you'll also get a `406` error.

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

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

## 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'll get a `403 Forbidden` response.

```
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](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user                  |
| `merge_request_iid` | integer | yes      | The internal ID of the merge request |

```bash
curl --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 will return a `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 will include the following:

```json
{
  "rebase_in_progress": true,
  "merge_error": null
}
```

Once the rebase operation has completed successfully, the response will include
the following:

```json
{
  "rebase_in_progress": false,
  "merge_error": null
}
```

If the rebase operation fails, the response will include 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 will close on merge

Get all the issues that would be closed by merging the provided merge request.

```
GET /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/closes_issues
```
