# Epics API **(PREMIUM)**
2019-09-04 21:01:54 +05:30
2020-05-24 23:13:21 +05:30
> - Introduced in [GitLab Ultimate](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 10.2.
2020-06-23 00:09:42 +05:30
> - Single-level Epics [were moved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/37081) to [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) in 12.8.
2020-05-24 23:13:21 +05:30
2019-09-04 21:01:54 +05:30
Every API call to epic must be authenticated.
2021-03-08 18:12:59 +05:30
If a user is not a member of a private group, a `GET` request on that group results in a `404` status code.
2019-09-04 21:01:54 +05:30
2021-03-08 18:12:59 +05:30
If epics feature is not available a `403` status code is returned.
2019-09-04 21:01:54 +05:30
## Epic issues API
The [epic issues API ](epic_issues.md ) allows you to interact with issues associated with an epic.
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
## Milestone dates integration
2019-09-04 21:01:54 +05:30
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/6448) in GitLab 11.3.
2019-09-04 21:01:54 +05:30
2021-03-08 18:12:59 +05:30
Because start date and due date can be dynamically sourced from related issue milestones,
additional fields are shown when user has edit permission. These include two boolean
fields `start_date_is_fixed` and `due_date_is_fixed` , and four date fields `start_date_fixed` ,
`start_date_from_inherited_source` , `due_date_fixed` and `due_date_from_inherited_source` .
2019-09-04 21:01:54 +05:30
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
- `end_date` has been deprecated in favor of `due_date` .
- `start_date_from_milestones` has been deprecated in favor of `start_date_from_inherited_source`
- `due_date_from_milestones` has been deprecated in favor of `due_date_from_inherited_source`
2019-09-04 21:01:54 +05:30
## Epics pagination
By default, `GET` requests return 20 results at a time because the API results
are paginated.
Read more on [pagination ](README.md#pagination ).
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
WARNING:
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
> `reference` attribute in response is deprecated in favour of `references`.
2021-03-08 18:12:59 +05:30
> Introduced in [GitLab 12.6](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/20354)
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
NOTE:
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
> `references.relative` is relative to the group that the epic is being requested. When epic is fetched from its origin group
> `relative` format would be the same as `short` format and when requested cross groups it is expected to be the same as `full` format.
2019-09-04 21:01:54 +05:30

NOTE:
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
Starting with GitLab [11.3 ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/6448 ), `start_date` and `end_date` should no longer be assigned
2019-09-04 21:01:54 +05:30
directly, as they now represent composite values. You can configure it via the `*_is_fixed` and
`*_fixed` fields instead.

## Update epic
Updates an epic.
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
NOTE:
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
Starting with GitLab [11.3 ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/6448 ), `start_date` and `end_date` should no longer be assigned
2019-09-04 21:01:54 +05:30
directly, as they now represent composite values. You can configure it via the `*_is_fixed` and
`*_fixed` fields instead.
