# Epics API **(PREMIUM)**
2019-09-04 21:01:54 +05:30
Every API call to epic must be authenticated.
If a user is not a member of a group and the group is private, a `GET` request on that group will result to a `404` status code.
If epics feature is not available a `403` status code will be returned.
## 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
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
Since start date and due date can be dynamically sourced from related issue milestones, when user has edit permission,
additional fields will be shown. 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).
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
CAUTION: **Deprecation**
> `reference` attribute in response is deprecated in favour of `references`.
> Introduced [GitLab 12.6](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/20354)
NOTE: **Note**
> `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.

Starting with GitLab [11.3](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/6448), `start_date` and `end_date` should no longer be assigned
