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.
