Issues API
If a user is not a member of a private project, a GET
request on that project results in a 404
status code.
Issues pagination
By default, GET
requests return 20 results at a time because the API results
are paginated.
Read more on pagination.
WARNING:
The reference
attribute in responses is deprecated in favor of references
.
Introduced in GitLab 12.6.
NOTE:
The references.relative
attribute is relative to the group or project of the issue being requested.
When an issue is fetched from its project, the relative
format is the same as the short
format.
When requested across groups or projects, it's expected to be the same as the full
format.
List issues
Get all issues the authenticated user has access to. By default it
returns only issues created by the current user. To get all issues,
use parameter scope=all
.
