# Discussions API **(FREE)**

Discussions are a set of related notes on:

- Snippets
- Issues
- Epics **(ULTIMATE)**
- Merge requests
- Commits

This includes system notes, which are notes about changes to the object (for example, when a milestone changes, a corresponding system note is added). Label notes are not part of this API, but recorded as separate events in [resource label events](resource_label_events.md).

## Discussions pagination

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

Read more on [pagination](README.md#pagination).

## Issues

#### Create a new thread on the overview page

```shell
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/merge_requests/11/discussions?body=comment"
```

#### Create a new thread in the merge request diff

- Both `position[old_path]` and `position[new_path]` are required and must refer to the file path before and after the change.
- To create a thread on an added line (highlighted in green in the merge request diff), use `position[new_line]` and don't include `position[old_line]`.
- To create a thread on a removed line (highlighted in red in the merge request diff), use `position[old_line]` and don't include `position[new_line]`.
- To create a thread on an unchanged line, include both `position[new_line]` and `position[old_line]` for the line. These positions might not be the same if earlier changes in the file changed the line number. This is a bug that we plan to fix in [GraphQL `createDiffNote` forces clients to compute redundant information (#325161)](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/325161).
- If you specify incorrect `base`/`head`/`start` `SHA` parameters, you might run into the following bug: [Merge request comments receive "download" link instead of inline code (#296829)](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/296829).

To create a new thread:

1. [Get the latest merge request version](merge_requests.md#get-mr-diff-versions):

    ```shell
    curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/merge_requests/11/versions"
    ````

1. Note the details of the latest version, which is listed first in the response array.

    ```shell
    curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>"\
      --form 'position[position_type]=text'\
      --form 'position[base_sha]=<use base_commit_sha from the versions response>'\
      --form 'position[head_sha]=<use head_commit_sha from the versions response>'\
      --form 'position[start_sha]=<use start_commit_sha from the versions response>'\
      --form 'position[new_path]=file.js'\
      --form 'position[old_path]=file.js'\
      --form 'position[new_line]=18'\
      --form 'body=test comment body'\

#### Parameters for multiline comments

Parameters for multiline comments only:

| `position[line_range][start][line_code]` | string         | yes      | [Line code](#line-code) for the start line |
| `position[line_range][start][type]`      | string         | yes      | Use `new` for lines added by this commit, otherwise `old`. |
| `position[line_range][end]`              | hash           | no       | Multiline note ending line |
| `position[line_range][end][line_code]`   | string         | yes      | [Line code](#line-code) for the end line |
| `position[line_range][end][type]`        | string         | yes      | Use `new` for lines added by this commit, otherwise `old`. |

#### Line code

A line code is of the form `<SHA>_<old>_<new>`:

- `<SHA>` is the SHA1 hash of the filename.
- `<old>` is the line number before the change.
- `<new>` is the line number after the change.

For example, when commenting on an added line number 5, the line code
looks like `adc83b19e793491b1c6ea0fd8b46cd9f32e292fc_5_5`.
