  ]

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.

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.

get::/changes/?q=status:open+is:watched&n=25

Query that retrieves changes for a user’s dashboard:

Request.

  GET /changes/?q=is:open+owner:self&q=is:open+reviewer:self+-owner:self&q=is:closed+owner:self+limit:5&o=LABELS HTTP/1.0

get::/changes/?q=is:open+owner:self&q=is:open+reviewer:self+-owner:self&q=is:closed+owner:self+limit:5&o=LABELS

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: a summary of each label required for submit, and approvers that have granted (or rejected) with that label.
  • DETAILED_LABELS: detailed label information, including numeric values of all existing approvals, recognized label values, values permitted to be set by the current user, all reviewers by state, and reviewers that may be removed by the current user.
  • CURRENT_REVISION: describe the current revision (patch set) of the change, including the commit SHA-1 and URLs to fetch from.
  • ALL_REVISIONS: describe all revisions, not just current.
  • DOWNLOAD_COMMANDS: include the commands field in the FetchInfo for revisions. Only valid when the CURRENT_REVISION or ALL_REVISIONS option is selected.
  • 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: 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: 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: 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: include _account_id, email and username fields when referencing accounts.
  • MESSAGES: include messages associated with the change.
  • CURRENT_ACTIONS: include information on available actions for the change and its current revision. Ignored if the caller is not authenticated.
  • CHANGE_ACTIONS: include information on available change actions for the change. Ignored if the caller is not authenticated.
  • 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 reviewedby:self.

  • SUBMITTABLE: include the submittable field in ChangeInfo, which can be used to tell if the change is reviewed and ready for submit.
  • WEB_LINKS: include the web_links field in CommitInfo, therefore only valid in combination with CURRENT_COMMIT or ALL_COMMITS.
  • CHECK: include potential problems with the change.
  • COMMIT_FOOTERS: include the full commit message with Gerrit-specific commit footers in the RevisionInfo.
  • PUSH_CERTIFICATES: include push certificate information in the RevisionInfo. Ignored if signed push is not enabled on the server.
  • TRACKING_IDS: include references to external tracking systems as TrackingIdInfo.

Changes Submitted Together

GET /changes/{change-id}/submitted_together?o=NON_VISIBLE_CHANGES

Computes list of all changes which are submitted when Submit is called for this change, including the current change itself.

The list consists of:

  • The given change.

  • If change.submitWholeTopic is enabled, include all open changes with the same topic.

  • For each change whose submit type is not CHERRY_PICK, include unmerged ancestors targeting the same branch.

As a special case, the list is empty if this change would be submitted by itself (without other changes).

Request.

  GET /changes/myProject~master~I8473b95934b5732ac55d26311a706c9c2bde9940/submitted_together?o=NON_VISIBLE_CHANGES HTTP/1.0
  Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8

As a response a SubmittedTogetherInfo entity is returned that describes what would happen if the change were submitted. This response contains a list of changes and a count of changes that are not visible to the caller that are part of the set of changes to be merged.

The listed changes use the same format as in Query Changes with the LABELS, DETAILED_LABELS, CURRENT_REVISION, CURRENT_COMMIT, and SUBMITTABLE options set.

Standard formatting options can be specified with the o parameter, as well as the submitted_together specific option NON_VISIBLE_CHANGES.

If 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.

The review must be provided in the request body as a ReviewInput entity.

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:

          },
          "message": "Incorrect indentation"
        }
      ]
    }
  }

As response a ReviewResult entity is returned that describes the applied labels and any added reviewers (e.g. yourself, if you set a label but weren’t previously a reviewer on this CL).

  }

It is also possible to add one or more reviewers or CCs to a change simultaneously with a review:

Request.

  POST /changes/myProject~master~I8473b95934b5732ac55d26311a706c9c2bde9940/revisions/674ac754f91e64a0efb8087e59a176484bd534d1/review HTTP/1.0

      }
      {
        "reviewer": "MyProjectVerifiers",
      }
    ]
  }

Each element of the reviewers list is an instance of ReviewerInput. The corresponding result of adding each reviewer will be returned in a map of inputs to AddReviewerResults.

If there are any errors returned for reviewers, the entire review request will be rejected with 400 Bad Request. None of the entries will have the reviewers or ccs field set, and those which specifically failed will have the errors field set containing details of why they failed.

  }

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 ReviewInput instead.

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

If reviewers are added, then a second email will be sent using the “newchange” template. The notification logic for this email is the same as for Add Reviewer.

Rebase Revision

POST /changes/{change-id}/revisions/{revision-id}/rebase

Rebases a revision.

Optionally, the parent revision can be changed to another patch set through the RebaseInput entity.

Request.

If the revision cannot be rebased, e.g. due to conflicts, the response is “409 Conflict” and the error message is contained in the response body.

Response.

  HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict
  Content-Disposition: attachment

  The change could not be rebased due to a path conflict during merge.

Submit Revision

POST /changes/{change-id}/revisions/{revision-id}/submit

Submits a revision.

Request.

  )]}'
  {
    "status": "MERGED"

If the revision cannot be submitted, e.g. because the submit rule doesn’t allow submitting the revision or the revision is not the current revision, the response is “409 Conflict” and the error message is contained in the response body.

Response.

  HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict
  Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Get Patch

GET /changes/{change-id}/revisions/{revision-id}/patch

Gets the formatted patch for one revision.

Request.

  GET /changes/myProject~master~I8473b95934b5732ac55d26311a706c9c2bde9940/revisions/current/patch HTTP/1.0

The formatted patch is returned as text encoded inside base64:

Response.

  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  Content-Disposition: attachment
  Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
  X-FYI-Content-Encoding: base64
  X-FYI-Content-Type: application/mbox

  RnJvbSA3ZGFkY2MxNTNmZGVhMTdhYTg0ZmYzMmE2ZTI0NWRiYjY...

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

GET /changes/{change-id}/revisions/{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:

 $ curl -Lo preview_submit_test.sh http://review.example.com:8080/tools/scripts/preview_submit_test.sh

Request.

  GET /changes/myProject~master~I8473b95934b5732ac55d26311a706c9c2bde9940/revisions/current/preview_submit?zip HTTP/1.0

Delete Comment

DELETE /changes/{change-id}/revisions/{revision-id}/comments/{comment-id}
POST /changes/{change-id}/revisions/{revision-id}/comments/{comment-id}/delete

Deletes a published comment of a revision. Instead of deleting the whole comment, this endpoint just replaces the comment’s message with a new message, which contains the name of the user who deletes the comment and the reason why it’s deleted. The reason can be provided in the request body as a DeleteCommentInput entity.

Note that only users with the Administrate Server global capability are permitted to delete a comment.

Please note that some proxies prohibit request bodies for DELETE requests. In this case, if you want to specify options, use a POST request:

Apply Fix

POST /changes/section_title/revisions/section_title/fixes/section_title/apply

Applies a suggested fix by creating a change edit which includes the modifications indicated by the fix suggestion. If a change edit already exists, it will be updated accordingly. A fix can only be applied if no change edit exists and the fix refers to the current patch set, or the fix refers to the patch set on which the change edit is based.

Request.

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.

The integer-valued request parameter parent changes the response to return a list of the files which are different in this commit compared to the given parent commit. This is useful for supporting review of merge commits. The value is the 1-based index of the parent’s position in the commit object.

Get Content

GET /changes/{change-id}/revisions/{revision-id}/files/{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.

  GET /changes/myProject~master~I8473b95934b5732ac55d26311a706c9c2bde9940/revisions/674ac754f91e64a0efb8087e59a176484bd534d1/files/gerrit-server%2Fsrc%2Fmain%2Fjava%2Fcom%2Fgoogle%2Fgerrit%2Fserver%2Fproject%2FRefControl.java/content HTTP/1.0

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.

Response.

  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  Content-Disposition: attachment
  Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

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.

Download Content

GET /changes/{change-id}/revisions/{revision-id}/files/{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 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.
