This page describes the change related REST endpoints.
Please also take note of the general information on the
link:rest-api.html[REST API].

== Change Endpoints

[[create-change]]
=== Create Change
--
'POST /changes/'
--

The change input link:#change-input[ChangeInput] entity must be
provided in the request body. It is not allowed to create changes
under `refs/tags/` or Gerrit internal ref namespaces such as
`refs/changes/`, `refs/meta/external-ids/`, and `refs/users/`. The
request would fail with `400 Bad Request` in this case.

To create a change the calling user must be allowed to
link:access-control.html#category_push_review[upload to code review].

    "topic" : "create-change-in-browser",
    "status" : "NEW"
  }

[[list-changes]]
=== 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. The `no-limit` parameter can be used remove the default
limit on queries and return all results. This might not be supported by
all index backends.

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.

----

If the number of changes matching the query exceeds either the internal
limit or a supplied `n` query parameter, 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.

Administrators can use the `skip-visibility` query parameter to skip visibility filtering.
This can be used to ensure that no changes are missed e.g. when querying for changes which
need to be reindexed. Without this parameter query results the user has no permission to read
are filtered out. REST requests with the skip-visibility option are rejected when the current
user doesn't have the ADMINISTRATE_SERVER capability.

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.

[[query-options]]
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
  as well as all reviewers by state, and reviewers that may
  be removed by the current user.
--

[[detailed-labels]]
--
* `DETAILED_LABELS`: detailed label information, including numeric
  values of all existing approvals, recognized label values, values
  permitted to be set by any reviewer and the change owner, all
  reviewers by state, 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.
--

[[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 and magic files,
  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 and magic files,
  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.
--

[[reviewer-updates]]
--
* `REVIEWER_UPDATES`: include updates to reviewers set as
  link:#review-update-info[ReviewerUpdateInfo] entities.
--

[[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 all of the following are
  true:
  - the change is open
  - the caller is authenticated
  - the caller has commented on the change more recently than the last update
    from the change owner, i.e. this change would show up in the results of
    link:user-search.html#reviewedby[reviewedby:self].
--
[[skip_diffstat]]
--
* `SKIP_DIFFSTAT`: skip the 'insertions' and 'deletions' field in link:#change-info[ChangeInfo].
 For large trees, their computation may be expensive.
--

[[submittable]]
--
* `SUBMITTABLE`: include the `submittable` field in link:#change-info[ChangeInfo],
  which can be used to tell if the change is reviewed and ready for submit.
--

[[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.
--

[[commit-footers]]
--
* `COMMIT_FOOTERS`: include the full commit message with
  Gerrit-specific commit footers in the
  link:#revision-info[RevisionInfo].
--

[[push-certificates]]
--
* `PUSH_CERTIFICATES`: include push certificate information in the
  link:#revision-info[RevisionInfo]. Ignored if signed push is not
  link:config-gerrit.html#receive.enableSignedPush[enabled] on the
  server.
--

[[tracking-ids]]
--
* `TRACKING_IDS`: include references to external tracking systems
  as link:#tracking-id-info[TrackingIdInfo].
--

----

Historical state of the change can be retrieved by specifying the
`meta=SHA-1` parameter. This will use a historical NoteDb snapshot to
populate ChangeInfo. If the SHA-1 is not reachable as a NoteDb state,
status code 412 is returned.

[[get-meta-diff]]
=== Get Meta Diff
--
'GET /changes/link:#change-id[\{change-id\}]/meta_diff?old=SHA-1&meta=SHA-1'
--

Retrieves the difference between two historical states of a change
by specifying the `old=SHA-1` and the `meta=SHA-1` parameters.

If the `old` parameter is not provided, the parent of the `meta`
SHA-1 is used. If the `meta` parameter is not provided, the current
state of the change is used. If neither are provided, the
difference between the current state of the change and its previous
state is returned.

Additional fields can be obtained by adding `o` parameters, analogous
to link:#get-change[Get Change], and the same concerns for Get Change hold for
this endpoint too. Fields are described in link:#list-changes[Query Changes].

If the provided SHA-1 for `meta` is not reachable as a NoteDb
state, the status code 412 is returned. If the SHA-1 for `old`
is not reachable, the difference between the change at state
`meta` and an empty change is returned.

=== Get Change Detail
--
'GET /changes/link:#change-id[\{change-id\}]/detail'
--

Retrieves a change with link:#labels[labels], link:#detailed-labels[
detailed labels], link:#detailed-accounts[detailed accounts],
link:#reviewer-updates[reviewer updates], and link:#messages[messages].

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. Fields are described in link:#list-changes[Query Changes].

[[revert-submission]]
=== Revert Submission
--
'POST /changes/link:#change-id[\{change-id\}]/revert_submission'
--

Creates open revert changes for all of the changes of a certain submission.

The subject of each revert change will be 'Revert "<subject-of-reverted-change"'.
If the subject is above 60 characters, the subject will be cut to 56 characters
with "..." in the end. However, whenever reverting the submission of a revert
submission, the subject will be shortened from
'Revert "Revert "<subject-of-reverted-change""' to
'Revert^2 "<subject-of-reverted-change"'. Also, for every future revert submission,
the only difference in the subject will be the number of the revert (instead of
Revert^2 the subject will change to Revert^3 and so on).
There are no guarantees about the subjects if the users change the default subjects.

Details for the revert can be specified in the request body inside a link:#revert-input[
RevertInput] The topic of all created revert changes will be
`revert-{submission_id}-{random_string_of_size_10}`.

The changes will not be rebased on onto the destination branch so the users may still
have to manually rebase them to resolve conflicts and make them submittable.

However, the changes that have the same project and branch will be rebased on top
of each other. E.g, the first revert change will have the original change as a
parent, and the second revert change will have the first revert change as a
parent.

There is one special case that involves merge commits; if a user has multiple
changes in the same project and branch, but not in the same change series, those
changes can still get submitted together if they have the same topic and
link:config-gerrit.html#change.submitWholeTopic[`change.submitWholeTopic`] in
gerrit.config is set to true. In the case, Gerrit may create merge commits on
submit (depending on the link:config-project-config.html#submit-type[submit types]
of the project).
The first parent for the reverts will be the most recent merge commit that was
created by Gerrit to merge the different change series into the target branch.

entries. The entries in the map are sorted by file path, and the
comments for each path are sorted by patch set number. Each comment has
the `patch_set` and `author` fields set.

If the `enable-context` request parameter is set to true, the comment entries
will contain a list of link:#context-line[ContextLine] containing the lines of
the source file where the comment was written.

The `context-padding` request parameter can be used to specify an extra number
of context lines to be added before and after the comment range. This parameter
only works if `enable-context` is set to true.

'DELETE /changes/link:#change-id[\{change-id\}]/private'
--

Marks the change to be non-private. Note users can only unmark own private
changes.

.Request
----
  DELETE /changes/myProject~master~I8473b95934b5732ac55d26311a706c9c2bde9940/private HTTP/1.0
----

.Response
----
  HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
----

If the change was already not private, the response is "`409 Conflict`".

A message can be specified in the request body inside a
link:#private-input[PrivateInput] entity. Historically, this method allowed
a body in the DELETE, but that behavior is
link:https://www.gerritcodereview.com/releases/2.16.md[deprecated,role=external,window=_blank].
In this case, use a POST request instead:

reviews dashboard, and email notifications will be suppressed. Ignoring
a change does not cause the change's "updated" timestamp to be modified,
and the owner is not notified.

[[add-reviewer]]
=== Add Reviewer
--
'POST /changes/link:#change-id[\{change-id\}]/reviewers'
--

Adds one user or all members of one group as reviewer to the change.

The reviewer to be added to the change must be provided in the request
body as a link:#reviewer-input[ReviewerInput] entity.

Users can be moved from reviewer to CC and vice versa. This means if a
user is added as CC that is already a reviewer on the change, the
reviewer state of that user is updated to CC. If a user that is already
a CC on the change is added as reviewer, the reviewer state of that
user is updated to reviewer.

Adding a new reviewer also adds that reviewer to the attention set, unless
the change is work in progress.
Also, moving a reviewer to CC removes that user from the attention set.

If a group is specified, adding the group members as reviewers is an
atomic operation. This means if an error is returned, none of the
members are added as reviewer.

If a group with many members is added as reviewer a confirmation may be
required.

If a group is added as CC and members of this group are already
reviewers on the change, these members stay reviewers on the change
(they are not downgraded to CC). However if a group is added as
reviewer, all group members become reviewer of the change, even if they
have been added as CC before.

If link:config-project-config.html#reviewer.enableByEmail[reviewer.enableByEmail] is set
for the project, reviewers and CCs are not required to have a Gerrit account. If you POST
an email address of a reviewer or CC then, they will be added to the change even if they
don't have a Gerrit account.

If this option is disabled, the request would fail with `400 Bad Request` if the email
address can't be resolved to an active Gerrit account.

Note that the name is optional so both "un.registered@reviewer.com" and
"John Doe <un.registered@reviewer.com>" are valid inputs.

Reviewers without Gerrit accounts can only be added on changes visible to anonymous users.

[[set-review]]
=== Set Review
--
'POST /changes/link:#change-id[\{change-id\}]/revisions/link:#revision-id[\{revision-id\}]/review'
--

Sets a review on a revision, optionally also publishing draft comments, setting
labels, adding reviewers or CCs, and modifying the work in progress property.

The review must be provided in the request body as a
link:#review-input[ReviewInput] entity.

If the labels are set, the user sending the request will automatically be
added as a reviewer, otherwise (if they only commented) they are added to
the CC list.

Some updates to the attention set occur here. If more than one update should
occur, only the first update in the order of the below documentation occurs:

If a user is part of remove_from_attention_set, the user will be explicitly
removed from the attention set.

If a user is part of add_to_attention_set, the user will be explicitly
added to the attention set.

If the boolean ignore_default_attention_set_rules is set to true, all
other rules below will be ignored:

The user who created the review is removed from the attention set.

If the change is ready for review, the following also apply:

When the uploader replies, the owner is added to the attention set.

When the owner or uploader replies, all the reviewers are added to
the attention set.

When neither the owner nor the uploader replies, add the owner and the
uploader to the attention set.

Then, new reviewers are added to the attention set, and removed reviewers
(by becoming CC) are removed from the attention set.

A review cannot be set on a change edit. Trying to post a review for a
change edit fails with `409 Conflict`.

Here is an example of using this method to set labels:

[[set-review-notifications]]
.Notifications

An email will be sent using the "comment" template.

If the top-level notify property is null or not set, then notification behavior
depends on whether the change is WIP, whether it has started review, and whether
the tag property is null.

NOTE: If adding reviewers, the notify property of each ReviewerInput is *ignored*.
Use the notify property of the top-level link:#review-input[ReviewInput] instead.

For the purposes of this table, *everyone* means *owner, reviewers, CCs, stars, and ALL_COMMENTS
watchers*.

[options="header",cols="2,1,1,2,2"]

----

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`.

Query parameter `download` (e.g. `/changes/.../patch?download`)
will suggest the browser save the patch as `commitsha1.diff.base64`,
for later processing by command line tools.

If the `path` parameter is set, the returned content is a diff of the single
file that the path refers to.

[[submit-preview]]
=== Submit Preview
--
'GET /changes/link:#change-id[\{change-id\}]/revisions/link:#revision-id[\{revision-id\}]/preview_submit'
--
Gets a file containing thin bundles of all modified projects if this
change was submitted. The bundles are named `${ProjectName}.git`.
Each thin bundle contains enough to construct the state in which a project would
be in if this change were submitted. The base of the thin bundles are the
current target branches, so to make use of this call in a non-racy way, first
get the bundles and then fetch all projects contained in the bundle.
(This assumes no non-fastforward pushes).

You need to give a parameter '?format=zip' or '?format=tar' to specify the
format for the outer container. It is always possible to use tgz, even if
tgz is not in the list of allowed archive formats.

To make good use of this call, you would roughly need code as found at:

[[get-ported-comments]]
=== Get Ported Comments
--
'GET /changes/link:#change-id[\{change-id\}]/revisions/link:#revision-id[\{revision-id\}]/ported_comments'
--

Ports comments of other revisions to the requested revision.

Only comments added on earlier patchsets are ported. That set of comments is filtered even further
due to some additional rules. Callers of this endpoint shouldn't rely on the exact logic of which
comments are ported as that logic might change in the future. Instead, callers must be able to
handle any smaller/larger set of comments returned by this endpoint.

Typically, a comment thread is returned fully or excluded fully. However, draft comments and
robot comments are ignored and not returned via this endpoint. Hence, it's possible to get ported
comments from this endpoint which are a reply to a non-ported robot comment. Callers must be
able to deal with this situation.

The returned comments are organized in a map of file path to link:#comment-info[CommentInfo] entries
in the same fashion as for the link:#list-comments[List Revision Comments] endpoint.
The map is filled with the original comment attributes except for these attributes: `path`, `line`,
and `range` point to the computed position in the target revision. If the exactly correct position
can't be determined, those fields will be filled with the next best position. That can also mean
not filling the `line` or `range` attribute anymore and thus converting the comment to a file
comment (or even moving the comment to a different file or the patchset level). Callers of this
endpoint must be able to deal with this and not rely on the original comment position.

It's possible that this endpoint returns different link:#comment-info[CommentInfo] entries with
the same comment UUID. This is not a bug but a feature. If a comment appears on a file which Gerrit
recognizes as copied between patchsets, the ported version of this comment consists of two ported
instances having the same UUID but different `file`/`line`/`range` positions. Callers must be able
to handle this situation.

Repeated calls of this endpoint might produce different results. Internal errors during the
position computation are mapped to fallback locations for affected comments. Those errors might
have vanished on later calls, upon which this endpoint returns the actually mapped position. In
addition, comments can be deleted and draft comments can be published, upon which the set of ported
comments may change.

[[get-ported-drafts]]
=== Get Ported Drafts
--
'GET /changes/link:#change-id[\{change-id\}]/revisions/link:#revision-id[\{revision-id\}]/ported_drafts'
--

Ports draft comments of other revisions to the requested revision.

This endpoint behaves similarly to the link:#get-ported-comments[Get Ported Comments] endpoint.
With this endpoint, only draft comments of the calling user are ported, though. If a draft comment
is a reply to a published comment, only the ported draft comment is returned.

Depending on the filtering rules, it's possible that this endpoint returns a draft comment which is
a reply to a comment thread which is not returned by the
link:#get-ported-comments[Get Ported Comments] endpoint. That's intended behavior. Callers must be
able to handle this situation. The same holds for drafts which are a reply to a robot comment.

Different than the link:#get-ported-comments[Get Ported Comments] endpoint, the `author` of the
returned comments is not filled for this endpoint as only comments of the calling user are returned.

This endpoint requires authentication.

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
of all files (modified or unmodified) that contain that substring
in the path name. This is useful to implement suggestion services
finding a file by partial name.  Clients that also need the FileInfo
should make two requests.

For merge commits only, the integer-valued request parameter `parent`
changes the response to return a map of the files which are different
in this commit compared to the given parent commit. The value is the
1-based index of the parent's position in the commit object,
with the first parent always belonging to the target branch. If not
specified, the response contains a map of the files different in the
auto merge result.

The request parameter `base` changes the response to return a map of the
files which are different in this commit compared to the given revision. The
revision must correspond to a patch set in the change.

The `reviewed`, `q`, `parent`, and `base` options are mutually exclusive.
That is, only one of them may be used at a time.

=== Get Content
--
'GET /changes/link:#change-id[\{change-id\}]/revisions/link:#revision-id[\{revision-id\}]/files/link:#file-id[\{file-id\}]/content'
--

Gets the content of a file from a certain revision.

The optional, integer-valued `parent` parameter can be specified to request
the named file from a parent commit of the specified revision. The value is
the 1-based index of the parent's position in the commit object. If the
parameter is omitted or the value is non-positive, the patch set is referenced.

.Request

----

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.

----

Alternatively, if the only value of the Accept request header is
`application/json` the content is returned as JSON string and
`X-FYI-Content-Encoding` is set to `json`.

[[get-safe-content]]
=== Download Content
--
'GET /changes/link:#change-id[\{change-id\}]/revisions/link:#revision-id[\{revision-id\}]/files/link:#file-id[\{file-id\}]/download'
--

Downloads the content of a file from a certain revision, in a safe format
that poses no risk for inadvertent execution of untrusted code.

If the content type is defined as safe, the binary file content is returned
verbatim. If the content type is not safe, the file is stored inside a ZIP
file, containing a single entry with a random, unpredictable name having the
same base and suffix as the true filename. The ZIP file is returned in
verbatim binary form.

See link:config-gerrit.html#mimetype.name.safe[Gerrit config documentation]
for information about safe file type configuration.

The HTTP resource Content-Type is dependent on the file type: the
applicable type for safe files, or "application/zip" for unsafe files.

The optional, integer-valued `parent` parameter can be specified to request
the named file from a parent commit of the specified revision. The value is
the 1-based index of the parent's position in the commit object. If the
parameter is omitted or the value non-positive, the patch set is referenced.

Filenames are decorated with a suffix of `_new` for the current patch,
`_old` for the only parent, or `_oldN` for the Nth parent of many.

[[cherry-pick]]
=== Cherry Pick Revision
--
'POST /changes/link:#change-id[\{change-id\}]/revisions/link:#revision-id[\{revision-id\}]/cherrypick'
--

Cherry picks a revision to a destination branch.

To cherry pick a commit with no change-id associated with it, see
link:rest-api-projects.html#cherry-pick-commit[CherryPickCommit].

The commit message and destination branch must be provided in the request body inside a
link:#cherrypick-input[CherryPickInput] entity.  If the commit message
does not specify a Change-Id, a new one is picked for the destination change.

When cherry-picking a change into a branch that already contains the Change-Id
that we want to cherry-pick, the cherry-pick will create a new patch-set on the
destination's branch's appropriate Change-Id. If the change is closed on the
destination branch, the cherry-pick will fail.

is still listed on the change.

If another user removed a user's vote, the user with the deleted vote will be
added to the attention set.

[[attention-set]]
== Attention Set
Attention Set is the set of users that should perform some action on the
change. E.g, reviewers should review the change, owner/uploader should
add a new patchset or respond to comments.

Users are added to the attention set if one the following apply:

* They are manually added in link:#review-input[ReviewInput] in
 add_to_attention_set.
* They are added as reviewers.
* The change is marked ready for review.
* As an owner/uploader, when someone replies on your change.
* As a reviewer, when the owner/uploader replies.
* When the user's vote is deleted by another user.
* The rules above (except manually adding to the attention set) don't apply
 for changes that are work in progress.

Users are removed from the attention set if one the following apply:

* They are manually removed in link:#review-input[ReviewInput] in
 remove_from_attention_set.
* They are removed from reviewers.
* The change is marked work in progress, abandoned, or submitted.
* When the user replies on a change.

If the ignore_default_attention_set_rules in link:#review-input[ReviewInput]
is set to true, no other changes to the attention set will occur during the
link:#set-review[set-review].
Also, users specified in the list will occur instead of any of the implicit
changes to the attention set. E.g, if a user is added by add_to_attention_set
in link:#review-input[ReviewInput], but also the change is marked work in
progress, the user will still be added.

  where for the branch the `refs/heads/` prefix can be omitted
  ("$$myProject~master~I8473b95934b5732ac55d26311a706c9c2bde9940$$")
* a Change-Id if it uniquely identifies one change
  ("I8473b95934b5732ac55d26311a706c9c2bde9940")
* a numeric change ID ("4247")
