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.

cautionThe reference attribute in responses is deprecated in favor of references. Introduced in GitLab 12.6.
noteThe 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

The weight property moved to GitLab Premium in 13.9.

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.
