Issues API
Tier: Free, Premium, Ultimate
Offering: GitLab.com, Self-managed, GitLab Dedicated
Interact with GitLab Issues using the REST 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.
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.
