2019-09-04 21:01:54 +05:30
If you are allowed to, you can approve a merge request using the following
endpoint:
2020-04-08 14:13:33 +05:30
```plaintext
2019-09-04 21:01:54 +05:30
POST /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/approve
```
**Parameters:**
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|---------------------|---------|----------|-------------------------|
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
| `id` | integer or string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of a project](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) |

2019-09-04 21:01:54 +05:30
The `sha` parameter works in the same way as
when [accepting a merge request](merge_requests.md#accept-mr): if it is passed, then it must
match the current HEAD of the merge request for the approval to be added. If it
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
does not match, the response code is `409`.
