NOTE: Not all deployments can be associated with merge requests. Please see Track what merge requests were deployed to an environment for more information.

This API retrieves the list of merge requests shipped with a given deployment:

GET /projects/:id/deployments/:deployment_id/merge_requests

It supports the same parameters as the Merge Requests API and returns a response using the same format:

curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/deployments/42/merge_requests"

Approve or reject a blocked deployment (PREMIUM)

Introduced in GitLab 14.7 with a flag named deployment_approvals. Disabled by default.

Feature flag removed in GitLab 14.8.

See Deployment Approvals for more information about this feature.
