title: Resource state events API

{{< details >}}
- Tier: Free, Premium, Ultimate
- Offering: GitLab.com, GitLab Self-Managed, GitLab Dedicated
{{< /details >}}
Resource state events keep track of what happens to GitLab [issues](../user/project/issues/_index.md)
[merge requests](../user/project/merge_requests/_index.md) and [epics starting with GitLab 15.4](../user/group/epics/_index.md)
Use them to track which state was set, who did it, and when it happened.
Resource state events API does not track the initial state ("create" or "open") of resources.
For a resource that was not closed or re-opened, an empty list is returned.

## Epics
{{< history >}}
- [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/97554) in GitLab 15.4.
{{< /history >}}
{{< alert type="warning" >}}
The Epics REST API was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/460668) in GitLab 17.0
and is planned for removal in v5 of the API.
From GitLab 17.4 to 18.0, if [the new look for epics](../user/group/epics/_index.md#epics-as-work-items) is enabled, and in GitLab 18.1 and later, use the
Work Items API instead. For more information, see [migrate epic APIs to work items](graphql/epic_work_items_api_migration_guide.md).
This change is a breaking change.
