Issues API

Every API call to issues must be authenticated.

If a user is not a member of a project and the project is private, a GET request on that project will result in a 404 status code.

Issues pagination

By default, GET requests return 20 results at a time because the API results are paginated.

Read more on pagination.

CAUTION: Deprecation

reference attribute in response is deprecated in favour of references. Introduced GitLab 12.6

NOTE: Note

references.relative is relative to the group / project that the issue is being requested. When issue is fetched from its project relative format would be the same as short format and when requested across groups / projects it is expected to be the same as full format.

List issues

Get all issues the authenticated user has access to. By default it returns only issues created by the current user. To get all issues, use parameter scope=all.
