Notes API (FREE)

Notes are comments on:

  • Snippets
  • Issues
  • Merge requests
  • Epics (PREMIUM)

This includes system notes, which are notes about changes to the object (for example, when an assignee changes, GitLab posts a system note).

Resource events

  • Introduced in GitLab 13.3 for state, milestone, and weight events.
  • Introduced in GitLab 13.4 for iteration events.

Some system notes are not part of this API, but are recorded as separate events:

Notes pagination

By default, GET requests return 20 results at a time because the API results are paginated.

Read more on pagination.

Rate limits

To help avoid abuse, you can limit your users to a specific number of Create request per minute. See Notes rate limits.
