# GitLab Events API

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/gitlab/gitlab-events-api/  
**Provider:** GitLab — https://apis.io/providers/gitlab/  
**Base URL:** https://gitlab.com/api/v4  
**Documentation:** https://docs.gitlab.com/api/rest/

GitLab Events API is one of 189 APIs that [GitLab](https://apis.io/providers/gitlab/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification and an AsyncAPI event-driven specification. This API exposes 16 JSON Schema definitions. Tagged areas include Event. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, authentication docs, an API reference, rate-limit docs, an AsyncAPI specification, and 16 JSON Schemas.

Use this API to review event activity for a user, a project, or an instance. Events cover a wide range of actions, such as joining a project, commenting on an issue, pushing changes to a merge request, or closing an epic. Activity is subject to retention limits. For more information, see the [user activity time period limit](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/profile/contributions_calendar/#event-time-period-limit) and the [project activity time period limit](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/project/working_with_projects/#view-project-activity). These endpoints have some limitations: - Some epic features, such as child items, linked items, start dates, due dates, and health statuses, are not returned. - Some merge request notes use the `DiscussionNote` type instead, which is [not supported](https://docs.gitlab.com/api/discussions/#understand-note-types-in-the-api). - Bulk push events, created when a push exceeds the [push event activities limit](https://docs.gitlab.com/administration/settings/push_event_activities_limit/), are returned with limited details.
