=== Query Changes

'GET /changes/'
--

Queries changes visible to the caller. The
link:user-search.html#_search_operators[query string] must be provided
by the `q` parameter. The `n` parameter can be used to limit the
returned results.

As result a list of link:#change-info[ChangeInfo] entries is returned.
The change output is sorted by the last update time, most recently
updated to oldest updated.

Query for open changes of watched projects:

----

If the `n` query parameter is supplied and additional changes exist
that match the query beyond the end, the last change object has a
`_more_changes: true` JSON field set.

The `S` or `start` query parameter can be supplied to skip a number
of changes from the list.

Clients are allowed to specify more than one query by setting the `q`
parameter multiple times. In this case the result is an array of
arrays, one per query in the same order the queries were given in.

****

Additional fields can be obtained by adding `o` parameters, each
option requires more database lookups and slows down the query
response time to the client so they are generally disabled by
default. Optional fields are:

[[labels]]
--
* `LABELS`: a summary of each label required for submit, and
  approvers that have granted (or rejected) with that label.
--

[[detailed-labels]]
--
* `DETAILED_LABELS`: detailed label information, including numeric
  values of all existing approvals, recognized label values, values
  permitted to be set by the current user, and reviewers that may be
  removed by the current user.
--

[[current-revision]]
--
* `CURRENT_REVISION`: describe the current revision (patch set)
  of the change, including the commit SHA-1 and URLs to fetch from.
--

[[all-revisions]]
--
* `ALL_REVISIONS`: describe all revisions, not just current.
--

[[download_commands]]
--
* `DOWNLOAD_COMMANDS`: include the `commands` field in the
  link:#fetch-info[FetchInfo] for revisions. Only valid when the
  `CURRENT_REVISION` or `ALL_REVISIONS` option is selected.
--

[[draft_comments]]
--
* `DRAFT_COMMENTS`: include the `has_draft_comments` field for
  revisions. Only valid when the `CURRENT_REVISION` or `ALL_REVISIONS`
  option is selected.
--

[[current-commit]]
--
* `CURRENT_COMMIT`: parse and output all header fields from the
  commit object, including message. Only valid when the
  `CURRENT_REVISION` or `ALL_REVISIONS` option is selected.
--

[[all-commits]]
--
* `ALL_COMMITS`: parse and output all header fields from the
  output revisions. If only `CURRENT_REVISION` was requested
  then only the current revision's commit data will be output.
--

[[current-files]]
--
* `CURRENT_FILES`: list files modified by the commit, including
  basic line counts inserted/deleted per file. Only valid when
  the `CURRENT_REVISION` or `ALL_REVISIONS` option is selected.
--

[[all-files]]
--
* `ALL_FILES`: list files modified by the commit, including
  basic line counts inserted/deleted per file. If only the
  `CURRENT_REVISION` was requested then only that commit's
  modified files will be output.
--

[[detailed-accounts]]
--
* `DETAILED_ACCOUNTS`: include `_account_id`, `email` and `username`
  fields when referencing accounts.
--

[[messages]]
--
* `MESSAGES`: include messages associated with the change.
--

[[actions]]
--
* `CURRENT_ACTIONS`: include information on available actions
  for the change and its current revision. Ignored if the caller
  is not authenticated.
--

[[change-actions]]
--
* `CHANGE_ACTIONS`: include information on available
  change actions for the change. Ignored if the caller
  is not authenticated.
--

[[reviewed]]
--
* `REVIEWED`: include the `reviewed` field if the caller is
  authenticated and has commented on the current revision.
--

[[web-links]]
--
* `WEB_LINKS`: include the `web_links` field in link:#commit-info[CommitInfo],
  therefore only valid in combination with `CURRENT_COMMIT` or
  `ALL_COMMITS`.
--

[[check]]
--
* `CHECK`: include potential problems with the change.

Adding query parameter `zip` (for example `/changes/.../patch?zip`)
returns the patch as a single file inside of a ZIP archive. Clients
can expand the ZIP to obtain the plain text patch, avoiding the
need for a base64 decoding step. This option implies `download`.

will suggest the browser save the patch as `commitsha1.diff.base64`,
for later processing by command line tools.

The request parameter `reviewed` changes the response to return a list
of the paths the caller has marked as reviewed.  Clients that also
need the FileInfo should make two requests.

The request parameter `q` changes the response to return a list

in the path name. This is useful to implement suggestion services
finding a file by partial name.

The content is returned as base64 encoded string.  The HTTP response
Content-Type is always `text/plain`, reflecting the base64 wrapping.
A Gerrit-specific `X-FYI-Content-Type` header is returned describing
the server detected content type of the file.

If only the content type is required, callers should use HEAD to
avoid downloading the encoded file contents.

=== AbandonInput
The `AbandonInput` entity contains information for abandoning a change.

[options="header",cols="1,^1,5"]
|===========================

|`message`     |optional|
Message to be added as review comment to the change when abandoning the
change.
|===========================

[[action-info]]
=== ActionInfo
The `ActionInfo` entity describes a REST API call the client can
make to manipulate a resource. These are frequently implemented by
plugins and may be discovered at runtime.

[options="header",cols="1,^1,5"]
|====================================
|Field Name             ||Description
|`method`               |optional|
HTTP method to use with the action. Most actions use `POST`, `PUT`
or `DELETE` to cause state changes.
|`label`                |optional|
Short title to display to a user describing the action. In the
Gerrit web interface the label is used as the text on the button
presented in the UI.
|`title`                |optional|
Longer text to display describing the action. In a web UI this
should be the title attribute of the element, displaying when
the user hovers the mouse.
|`enabled`              |optional|
If true the action is permitted at this time and the caller is
likely allowed to execute it. This may change if state is updated
