# Issues API
Every API call to issues must be authenticated.
If a user is not a member of a project and the project is private, a `GET`
request on that project will result 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](README.md#pagination).
CAUTION: **Deprecation**
> `reference` attribute in response is deprecated in favour of `references`.
> Introduced [GitLab 12.6](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/merge_requests/20354)
NOTE: **Note**
> `references.relative` is relative to the group / project that the issue is being requested. When issue is fetched from its project
> `relative` format would be the same as `short` format and when requested across groups / projects it is expected to be the same as `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`.
```

**Note**: `assignee` column is deprecated, now we show it as a single-sized array `assignees` to conform to the GitLab EE API.
**Note**: The `closed_by` attribute was [introduced in GitLab 10.6][ce-17042]. This value will only be present for issues which were closed after GitLab 10.6 and when the user account that closed the issue still exists.
**Note**: The `epic_iid` attribute is deprecated and [will be removed in 13.0](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/35157).
Please use `iid` of the `epic` attribute instead.

**Note**: `assignee` column is deprecated, now we show it as a single-sized array `assignees` to conform to the GitLab EE API.
**Note**: The `closed_by` attribute was [introduced in GitLab 10.6][ce-17042]. This value will only be present for issues which were closed after GitLab 10.6 and when the user account that closed the issue still exists.
