# Merge Trains API **(PREMIUM)**

> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/36146) in GitLab 12.9.
> - Using this API you can consume [Merge Train](../ci/pipelines/merge_trains.md) entries.

Every API call to merge trains must be authenticated with Developer or higher [permissions](../user/permissions.md).

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

If Merge Trains is not available for the project, a `403` status code is returned.

## Merge Trains API pagination

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

Read more on [pagination](index.md#pagination).

## List Merge Trains for a project

Get all Merge Trains of the requested project:

```plaintext
GET /projects/:id/merge_trains
GET /projects/:id/merge_trains?scope=complete
```
