# Merge requests

## List 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. With GitLab 8.2 the return fields `upvotes` and
`downvotes` are deprecated and always return `0`.

```
GET /projects/:id/merge_requests
GET /projects/:id/merge_requests?state=opened

GET /projects/:id/merge_requests?iid=42
```

Parameters:

- `id` (required) - The ID of a project
- `iid` (optional) - Return the request having the given `iid`
- `state` (optional) - Return `all` requests or just those that are `merged`, `opened` or `closed`
- `order_by` (optional) - Return requests ordered by `created_at` or `updated_at` fields. Default is `created_at`
- `sort` (optional) - Return requests sorted in `asc` or `desc` order. Default is `desc`
