        "name": "Rule 1",
        "external_url": "https://gitlab.com/test-endpoint",
        "status": "passed"
    },
    {
        "id": 1,
        "name": "Rule 2",
        "external_url": "https://gitlab.com/test-endpoint-2",

    }
]

Set status of an external status check

• Introduced in GitLab 14.9, passed status to pass external status checks. Introduced with a flag named status_checks_add_status_field. Disabled by default.
• Introduced in GitLab 14.9, failed status to fail external status checks. Introduced with a flag named status_checks_add_status_field. Disabled by default.
• pass status to pass checks is deprecated in GitLab 14.9. Replaced with passed.
• Support for failed and passed enabled by default in GitLab 15.0 and feature flag removed.

For a single merge request, use the API to inform GitLab that a merge request has passed a check by an external service. To set the status of an external check, the personal access token used must belong to a user with at least the Developer role on the target project of the merge request.

Execute this API call as any user with rights to approve the merge request itself.

POST /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/status_check_responses

Parameters:

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
id	integer	yes	ID of a project
merge_request_iid	integer	yes	IID of a merge request
sha	string	yes	SHA at HEAD of the source branch

status	string	no	Set to passed to pass the check or failed to fail it

NOTE: sha must be the SHA at the HEAD of the merge request's source branch.

Retry failed status check for a merge request

For a single merge request, retry the specified failed external status check. Even though the merge request hasn't changed, this endpoint resends the current state of merge request to the defined external service.

POST /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/status_checks/:external_status_check_id/retry

Parameters:

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
id	integer	yes	ID of a project
merge_request_iid	integer	yes	IID of a merge request

{
    "message": "External status check must be failed"
}
