# External Status Checks API **(ULTIMATE)**
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/3869) in GitLab 14.0, disabled behind the `:ff_external_status_checks` feature flag.
> - [Feature flag removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/320783) in GitLab 14.1.
## List status checks for a merge request
For a single merge request, list the external status checks that apply to it and their status.
```plaintext
GET /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/status_checks
```
**Parameters:**
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| ------------------------ | ------- | -------- | -------------------------- |
| `id` | integer | yes | ID of a project |
| `merge_request_iid` | integer | yes | IID of a merge request |
```json
[
{
"id": 2,
"name": "Rule 1",
"external_url": "https://gitlab.com/test-endpoint",
"status": "passed"
},
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Rule 2",
"external_url": "https://gitlab.com/test-endpoint-2",
"status": "pending"
}
]
```
## Set status of an external status check
> - Introduced in GitLab 14.9, `passed` status to pass external status checks. Introduced [with a flag](../administration/feature_flags.md) named `status_checks_add_status_field`. Disabled by default.
> - Introduced in GitLab 14.9, `failed` status to fail external status checks. Introduced [with a flag](../administration/feature_flags.md) named `status_checks_add_status_field`. Disabled by default.
> - `pass` status to pass checks is [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/339039) in GitLab 14.9. Replaced with `passed`.
> - Support for `failed` and `passed` [enabled by default](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/353836) in GitLab 15.0 and feature flag removed.
For a single merge request, use the API to inform GitLab that a merge request has passed a check by an external service.
To set the status of an external check, the personal access token used must belong to a user with at least the Developer role on the target project of the merge request.
Execute this API call as any user with rights to approve the merge request itself.
```plaintext
POST /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/status_check_responses
```
**Parameters:**
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| -------------------------- | ------- | -------- |----------------------------------------------------------|
| `id` | integer | yes | ID of a project |
| `merge_request_iid` | integer | yes | IID of a merge request |
| `sha` | string | yes | SHA at `HEAD` of the source branch |
| `external_status_check_id` | integer | yes | ID of an external status check |
| `status` | string | no | Set to `passed` to pass the check or `failed` to fail it |
NOTE:
`sha` must be the SHA at the `HEAD` of the merge request's source branch.
