Discussions API (FREE)
Discussions are a set of related notes on:
- Snippets
- Issues
- Epics (ULTIMATE)
- Merge requests
- Commits
This includes system notes, which are notes about changes to the object (for example, when a milestone changes, a corresponding system note is added). Label notes are not part of this API, but recorded as separate events in resource label events.
Discussions pagination
By default, GET
requests return 20 results at a time because the API results are paginated.
Read more on pagination.
Issues
List project issue discussion items
Gets a list of all discussion items for a single issue.

Create a new thread on the overview page
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>"\
"https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/merge_requests/11/discussions?body=comment"
Create a new thread in the merge request diff
- Both
position[old_path]
andposition[new_path]
are required and must refer to the file path before and after the change. - To create a thread on an added line (highlighted in green in the merge request diff),
use
position[new_line]
and don't includeposition[old_line]
. - To create a thread on a removed line (highlighted in red in the merge request diff),
use
position[old_line]
and don't includeposition[new_line]
. - To create a thread on an unchanged line, include both
position[new_line]
andposition[old_line]
for the line. These positions might not be the same if earlier changes in the file changed the line number. This is a bug that we plan to fix in GraphQLcreateDiffNote
forces clients to compute redundant information (#325161). - If you specify incorrect
base
/head
/start
SHA
parameters, you might run into the following bug: Merge request comments receive "download" link instead of inline code (#296829).
To create a new thread:
-
Get the latest merge request version:
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>"\ "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/merge_requests/11/versions"
-
Note the details of the latest version, which is listed first in the response array.

Create a new diff thread. This example creates a thread on an added line:
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>"\ --form 'position[position_type]=text'\ --form 'position[base_sha]=<use base_commit_sha from the versions response>'\ --form 'position[head_sha]=<use head_commit_sha from the versions response>'\ --form 'position[start_sha]=<use start_commit_sha from the versions response>'\ --form 'position[new_path]=file.js'\ --form 'position[old_path]=file.js'\ --form 'position[new_line]=18'\ --form 'body=test comment body'\ "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/merge_requests/11/discussions"

) deletes line 463 in the README, you can comment
on the deletion by referencing line 463 in the old file:
