gitlab.merge_requests

stable Advanced

Recent merge requests of a GitLab.com project.

GET /v1/gitlab/merge_requests

What you get#

A list of GitLab results in Onekey's unified shape, in data (an array). An empty array is a normal, successful answer and is charged like any other; a source that reports "nothing found" as an error returns a free 404 not_found instead.

What it costs#

  • Advanced · 5 credits for a fresh fetch, charged only when it succeeds.
  • Free when served from cache (0.2 credit for a cached response over 100 KB).
  • Free if the request is invalid (never charged) or the source fails or reports not found (refunded).

Parameters#

Nothing here is user-visible; everything is behind a flag that's off by default.\n\nTwo new user group callout IDs are added, `duo_panel_request_painted_door` (43) and `explore_premium_request_painted_door` (44), along with the regenerated GraphQL docs and introspection files.\n\nEverything is behind one `gitlab_com_derisk` feature flag, `painted_door_request_ctas`, with the root group as the actor.\n\nEligibility is centralized in one shared class, `GitlabSubscriptions::PaintedDoorRequestEligibility`: GitLab.com only, root namespace is a group on the Free plan (so active trials, OSS, and EDU are excluded, but expired-trial groups are included), the user is a member of the group or one of its subgroups (project-only members are excluded) but can't edit billing (i.e. not an Owner), and the user isn't a GitLab team member. The eligibility class also supports a chat-panel-only rule (no active GitLab Credits add-on on the group); that rule is used by the companion Duo chat panel MR, not by this surface.\n\n`EE::SidebarsHelper` gains an `explore_premium` super sidebar context (`group_id` and `requested`). Nothing reads it yet — the profile menu MR is what consumes it.\n\nThe shared frontend helper `ee/app/assets/javascripts/painted_door_request/utils.js` is also in",

Caching and freshness#

  • Fresh for about 2 minutes. Repeat calls in that window are served from cache and are free.
  • Between 2 minutes and 15 minutes the cached copy is still served instantly and marked stale: true while Onekey refreshes it in the background.
  • If the source is down when a refresh is needed, the last copy can be served for up to 1 hour more (marked stale).
  • A "not found" is remembered for 1 minute and is free.
  • The cache is shared across all customers, which is what keeps repeat calls cheap.
