# Merge requests API **(FREE)**
> - `reference` was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/20354) in GitLab 12.7.
> - `draft` was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/63473) as a replacement for `work_in_progress` in GitLab 14.0.
> - `merged_by` was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/350534) in GitLab 14.7.
> - `merge_user` was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/349031) as an eventual replacement for `merged_by` in GitLab 14.7.
> - `merge_status` was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/3169#note_1162532204) in favor of `detailed_merge_status` in GitLab 15.6.
Every API call to merge requests must be authenticated.
## List merge requests
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
GET /merge_requests?scope=assigned_to_me
GET /merge_requests?search=foo&in=title
```

Users on [GitLab Premium or higher](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) also see
the `approvals_before_merge` parameter:
```json

"approvals_before_merge": null
...
}
]
```
### Merge requests list response notes
- [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.
- For notes on merge request object fields, read [Single merge request response notes](#single-merge-request-response-notes).
## 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 merge request 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.

## List group merge requests
Get all merge requests for this group and its subgroups.
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 /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 merge request resides.

## 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 merge request 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.

### Single merge request response 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`.
### Merge status
> - The `merge_status` field was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/3169#note_1162532204) in GitLab 15.6.
> - The `detailed_merge_status` field was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/101724) in GitLab 15.6.
Use `detailed_merge_status` instead of `merge_status` to account for all potential statuses.
- The `detailed_merge_status` field can contain one of the following values related to the merge request:
- `blocked_status`: Blocked by another merge request.
- `broken_status`: Can't merge into the target branch due to a potential conflict.
- `checking`: Mergeability checks are still in progress.
- `ci_must_pass`: A CI/CD pipeline must succeed before merge.
- `ci_still_running`: A CI/CD pipeline is still running.
- `discussions_not_resolved`: All discussions must be resolved before merge.
- `draft_status`: Can't merge because the merge request is a draft.
- `external_status_checks`: All status checks must pass before merge.
- `mergeable`: The branch can merge cleanly into the target branch.
- `not_approved`: Approval is required before merge.
- `not_open`: The merge request must be open before merge.
- `policies_denied`: The merge request contains denied policies.
- `unchecked`: The merge status has not been checked.

## Get single merge request changes
WARNING:
This endpoint was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/322117) in GitLab 15.7
and will be removed in API v5. Use the [List merge request diffs](#list-merge-request-diffs) endpoint instead.
Shows information about the merge request including its files and changes.
[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/merge_request_concepts/diffs/index.md#diff-limits)
still apply.

## Create merge request pipeline
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 [merged results pipeline](../ci/pipelines/merged_results_pipelines.md)
if the [project setting is enabled](../ci/pipelines/merged_results_pipelines.md#enable-merged-results-pipelines).

This API returns specific HTTP status codes on failure:
| HTTP Status | Message | Reason |
|:------------|---------|--------|
| `401` | `Unauthorized` | This user does not have permission to accept this merge request. |
| `405` | `Method Not Allowed` | The merge request is not able to be merged. |
| `409` | `SHA does not match HEAD of source branch` | The provided `sha` parameter does not match the HEAD of the source. |
| `422` | `Branch cannot be merged` | The merge request failed to merge. |
For additional important notes on response data, read [Single merge request response notes](#single-merge-request-response-notes).
## 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`.

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

## 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 or string | **{check-circle}** Yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](rest/index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user. |
| `merge_request_iid` | integer | **{check-circle}** Yes | The internal ID of the merge request. |
| `skip_ci` | boolean | **{dotted-circle}** 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"
}
```
## Reset approvals of a merge request
Clear all approvals of merge request.
Available only for [bot users](../user/project/settings/project_access_tokens.md#bot-users-for-projects)
based on project or group tokens. Users without bot permissions receive a `401 Unauthorized` response.
```plaintext
PUT /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/reset_approvals
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|---------------------|-------------------|----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `id` | integer or string | **{check-circle}** Yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](rest/index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user. |
| `merge_request_iid` | integer | **{check-circle}** Yes | The internal ID of the merge request. |
```shell
curl --request PUT --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/76/merge_requests/1/reset_approvals"
```
## Comments on merge requests
Comments are done via the [notes](notes.md) resource.
## List issues that close on merge

```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|---------------------|----------------|----------|-------------|
| `id` | integer or string | **{check-circle}** Yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](rest/index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user. |

## Approvals
For approvals, see [Merge request approvals](merge_request_approvals.md)
## List merge request state events
To track which state was set, who did it, and when it happened, check out
[Resource state events API](resource_state_events.md#merge-requests).
## Troubleshooting
### Empty `diff_refs` for new merge requests
When a merge request is created, the `diff_refs` field is initially empty. This field
is populated asynchronously after the merge request is created. For more
information, see the issue
[`diff_refs` empty after merge request is created](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/386562),
and the [related discussion](https://forum.gitlab.com/t/diff-refs-empty-after-mr-is-created/78975)
in the GitLab forums.
