Epic Links API (ULTIMATE)

Introduced in GitLab 11.8.

Manages parent-child epic relationships.

Every API call to epic_links must be authenticated.

If a user makes a GET request to a private group they are not a member of, the result is a 404 status code.

Multi-level Epics are available only in GitLab Ultimate/Gold. If the Multi-level Epics feature is not available, a 403 status code is returned.

Gets all child epics of an epic.

GET /groups/:id/epics/:epic_iid/epics
Attribute Type Required Description
id integer/string yes The ID or URL-encoded path of the group owned by the authenticated user
epic_iid integer yes The internal ID of the epic.
