Epics API (PREMIUM)

Every API call to epic must be authenticated.

If a user is not a member of a group and the group is private, a GET request on that group will result to a 404 status code.

If epics feature is not available a 403 status code will be returned.

Epic issues API

The epic issues API allows you to interact with issues associated with an epic.

Milestone dates integration

Introduced in GitLab 11.3.

Since start date and due date can be dynamically sourced from related issue milestones, when user has edit permission, additional fields will be shown. These include two boolean fields start_date_is_fixed and due_date_is_fixed, and four date fields start_date_fixed, start_date_from_inherited_source, due_date_fixed and due_date_from_inherited_source.

  • end_date has been deprecated in favor of due_date.
  • start_date_from_milestones has been deprecated in favor of start_date_from_inherited_source
  • due_date_from_milestones has been deprecated in favor of due_date_from_inherited_source

Epics pagination

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

Read more on pagination.

CAUTION: Deprecation:

reference attribute in response is deprecated in favour of references. Introduced GitLab 12.6

NOTE: Note:

references.relative is relative to the group that the epic is being requested. When epic is fetched from its origin group relative format would be the same as short format and when requested cross groups it is expected to be the same as full format.
