# Epic Links API **(ULTIMATE)**
>**Note:**
> This endpoint was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/9188) in GitLab 11.8.
Manages parent-child [epic relationships](../user/group/epics/index.md#multi-level-child-epics).
Every API call to `epic_links` must be authenticated.
If a user is not a member of a group and the group is private, a `GET` request on that group will result to a `404` status code.
Epics are available only in the [Ultimate/Gold tier](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/). If the epics feature is not available, a `403` status code will be returned.
