# Issue links API **(FREE)**
> The simple "relates to" relationship [moved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/212329) to [GitLab Free](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) in 13.4.
## List issue relations
Get a list of a given issue's [linked issues](../user/project/issues/related_issues.md),
sorted by the relationship creation datetime (ascending).
Issues are filtered according to the user authorizations.
```plaintext
GET /projects/:id/issues/:issue_iid/links
```
Parameters:
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|-------------|---------|----------|--------------------------------------|
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user |
| `issue_iid` | integer | yes | The internal ID of a project's issue |
```json
[
{
"id" : 84,
"iid" : 14,
"issue_link_id": 1,
"project_id" : 4,
"created_at" : "2016-01-07T12:44:33.959Z",
"title" : "Issues with auth",
"state" : "opened",

"link_updated_at": "2016-01-07T12:44:33.959Z"
}
]
```
## Create an issue link
Creates a two-way relation between two issues. The user must be allowed to
update both issues to succeed.
```plaintext
POST /projects/:id/issues/:issue_iid/links
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|---------------------|----------------|----------|--------------------------------------|
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user |
| `issue_iid` | integer | yes | The internal ID of a project's issue |
| `target_project_id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) of a target project |
| `target_issue_iid` | integer/string | yes | The internal ID of a target project's issue |
| `link_type` | string | no | The type of the relation ("relates_to", "blocks", "is_blocked_by"), defaults to "relates_to"). |
```shell
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/4/issues/1/links?target_project_id=5&target_issue_iid=1"
```
