# Epics API **(PREMIUM)**
|
|
|
|
> - Introduced in [GitLab Ultimate](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 10.2.
|
|
> - Single-level Epics [were moved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/37081) to [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) in 12.8.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## Milestone dates integration
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/6448) in GitLab 11.3.
|
|
|
|
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`.
|
|
|
|
- `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`
|
|
|
|
## 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).
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
